I've got 19Gb unallocated on my 2x60Gb RAID0 config on a Promise Fasttrak100. I already got Windows XP running. I thought, hey let's put linux on the 19Gb unallocated.
But I can't get it to work. I've got the 3CD version, from the internet. Burned them to cds and booted from cd1. I get the screen where you can press F1 for more options or press Enter for normal install. When I press enter and I get to the SCSI/disk adapter install page it can't find my RAID controller. Both "ataraid" and "pdcraid" work. Now setup can't find my harddiskdrives and won't install
(You can click "ataraid" for example, it asks if I have more controllers, which I don't so I click no and it gives an error about not finding my controller/hd's and stuff)
I already tried running the setup pressing F1 and typing:
"linux ide2=0x1c00,0xb002,10 ide3=0x1400,0xb802,10 ide4=0 ide5=0 ide6=0 ide7=0 ide8=0 ide9=0 expert" at the "boot: " prompt. (The ide2 and ide3 "parameters" (I think they are called) I got from using the rescue isntall and typing "cat proc/pci | less")
ide0 and ide1 are both enabled in bios and detected. ide2 and ide3 are the two RAID ide. Each ide with one HD(master). When I run the setup with the this code I can see the booting finds my HD's, before entering setup.
But if I run the setup with the above code it gives me an error before actually ENTERING the setup: install exited abnormally :-( -- received signal 11.
Anybody knows how I can get setup to find my HD's and RAID controller correctly?
