After enabling raid1 in the bios, creating an array, and creating a logical drive in the array (230 gig) suse installation does NOT see a harddisk. Bios messages during post indicate that all is fine: it sees the array, it sees one logical drive in the array, but in the suse installer partitioning fails, because there are no drives to install on.
That would suggest lack of the proper driver for the RAID controller.
The sata/raid adapter is an Intel ICH6R/ICH6RW, and I found out that this is so called 'fakeraid'. I had never heard of this.
I've seen it mentioned, but I don't know what it is.
(until now I have only used IBM ServeRAID SCSI) Anyway, how to proceed? Is root raid1 possible on this hardware? Anyone doing it, here? (http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#intel-ich6)
I'm not doing it, but it's really only a question of the right driver.
I went to the hp website, there are driver downloads, but all for SuSE Enterprise Server. I DON'T have the enterprise server, but regular 9.3 or 10. Is there anyone here who knows how to get this going?
Try installing them anyway - it might just work. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Let us analyse your spam- and virus-threat - up to 2 months for free.
