I have a mother soyo SY-KT 400 DRAGON ULTRA with RAID onboard HighPoint HPT 372 and I could not install suse linux 9.0 when the Raid controler is enable on the Bios. When its enable I could not start boot even safemode the falow massage apears "kernel panic " so, what can I do to solve this problem? I need use Raid 1 to make mirror for two hds IDEs 80 gb.
I believe that http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/b372.htm is Your best place to start...
There is no direct support for SuSE 9.0, but maybe You can compile the source-code version... I have no experience with the source version.
I suspect "no direct support" may be untrue. Highpoint at that location has precompiled modules, but only up through SuSE 8.1. The fact that newer does not exist seems to imply some form of support from SuSE. In fact, ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/suse/suse/i386/9.0/boot/modules2.txt includes "hptraid", though it's indicated for hpt370 and not hpt3xx or hpt37x or hpt372. Furthermore, the installer does have RAID as configuration option in advanced partitioning. Does anyone have hpt372 RAID 1 working? I've gotten 9.0 installed on one disk and am now trying to figure out what to do to enable use of the native motherboard RAID 1. One place says a module can be used, but elsewhere says that to boot from ataraid requires support be compiled into the kernel. I started to try compiling a kernel using the instructions at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ATA-RAID-HOWTO/nativeraid.html, but I don't seem to be able to pinpoint the location of the .config or config.txt file used to compile the OEM kernel so that I can use that as a starting point, and the sample config.txt link on that page is bad. -- "Surely God would not have created such a being as man to exist only a day!
