Adaptec RAID 1220SA card and Fedora 11


I'm looking to install Fedora 11 (64-bit) onto a machine that's setup with an Adaptec 1220SA RAID card. The site states that the supported Linux distros are Red Hat & SUSE. Can anyone confirm if I'm likely to run into problems or not?

Yes, you likely will. The 1220SA looks like a software/bios-raid card. It's tough news. You'll probably want to migrate your raid to two independent discs, or spend hundreds of quid on a hardware-raid card (that presents the disks as one physical disk.) Alternately, you can mess with dmraid, mdraid, et al. until your eyes bleed. I know mine did a few years ago with a VIA8237 RAID chip.

Right? This happened in like, 2004. There were no excuses as of like, early 2007. I guess unless you don't have a 64-bit processor.
