i need some assistance getting Mandrake 9.1 installed on my desktop's Promise Fasttrack TX2 RAID-0 array.
i'll start off by mentioning that i have the correct partitions setup already (3 ex3's and a swap). i also searched "tx2 mandrake install" here and @google. obviously I also read through and attempted to install using this procedure:
Promise's Mandrake 9 Install Guide
through step 6, everything appears to be working. after that, i try to continue the install and the installer says it can't find any storage to install to (so i believe the driver did not load correctly). further, the tx2 controller does not appear in the list of drivers if i attempt to do a manual SCSI driver install.
the driver & install procedure on the promise site are for Mdk9.0, and the readme instructions in the DL file also say they're good for Redhat too.
is there something else i'm missing to get my rig working with Mdk9.1? maybe a typo in promise's install readme?
is that driver even compatible with Mkd9.1? or do i need to consider another dist? RH9? (please, say it ain't so)
pls help a n00b out. i can't wait to experiment with linux networking trix between my laptop & desktop, or play around with a fast linux box.
