Gentoo ATA Raid1


Hi, I am trying to get the installation process for gentoo 1.4 started. I booted off the 1.4 LiveCD and went to partition my disk and typed 'cfdisk /dev/hda' then got error that I couldn't partition that disk so I did 'dmesg' then looked at what hda was and sure enough it was marked as my CD-ROM (seems kinda difficult to partition that in my opinion) I was unable to locate my hard disks tho. I have my MIRROR set up through the Raid cards bios (Well it's a program that if I press f2 upon boot I can configure my raid arrays.) So I figure that I just don't have the driver installed for my raid controller.... But I don't know where to begin on getting it or knowing which one is correct for me. I looked on there site and they don't provide support from what I could see but shouldn't there be a driver on this cd if so how would I find it? I just need all around help on this topic I am new to RAID devices. (btw I have gotten RAID to work on Redhat, FreeBSD, and Windows (of course) So I know it's functional.
According to 'lspci' I have:
Code:
02:0e.0 RAID busy Controller: Promise Technology, Inc. 20267 (rev 02)

I've been doing some research that paralells your problem, trying to get a Mirror Raid array on a PDC20267 to work under linux.

If I'm not mistaken the PDC20267 = "Promise FastTrack 100" controller and drivers are available here: http://www.promise.com/support/downl...ory=All&os=100.

I'll be testing this out this friday.
