I installed an Adaptec 2400A RAID card connect to four 250GB ATA drives last week. Fedora Core 1 detected it fine and installed fine. However I noticed slower performance in an app I normally run. I ran hdparm and got the following results. I'm using 2199 kernel.
BTW, the system also includes two S-ATA drives connected to the mobo. /boot is mounted on one of them (sdb1), swap the other. The rest is given to a software RAID partition where I mounted / (md0). The Hardware RAID partition is /dev/sda1 below where /home is mounted.
System : P4
ADAPTEC 2400A card
2 70 GB drives SCSI
Trying to load RH ES V.4
I am trying to get this adaptec 2400A to work under RAID 1 with Linux RHE.
The OS loads but then I get "Error loading operating system"
The server had WIN 2000 Server before and worked fine. We need to move to RH and it will not load.
I have tried loading using linux dd and the Adaptec Driver.
I just want to load RHE on this server and support RAID 1.
I am installing RHE ES V.4 on a system that fomerly had WIN 2000 Server.
Setup: RAID one is set through ADAPTEC SNOR and I have two drives of about 70 GB each in the RAID 1 Array.
Install: I try to install RH now on the system and seem to take it all. So the drives are being installed. However as soon as we are loaded and ready to boot. I get " Error loading operating system"
