Mandrake 9.1 RAID boot


Hello guys,
I am trying to install mandrake 9.1 on my system.
***system specs***
2.4 ghz
1 gig of DDR memory
two 125 gig hard drives set up as a mirror array "RAID"
Intel S845WD1-E motherboard Link > ( http://intel.com/design/servers/buil...s845wdie_srvr& )
Thats all the specs on my board.

I think thats all u need to know. :-/
So what happened is I was installing mandrake and it couldn't find any of the drives so it asked me what driver to install and it gave me a list but I don't know the name of the driver the only drivers that are supported by intel are for rh 7.3 - 8.0 Those are the only ones I know about.
So if someone could help me out here I have been trying a very long time to get this to work and I have had no progress! PLEASE!

Vyeperman:
Are your two drives on separate cables? I had a similar problem with my two hard drives. After reading the docs at Western Digital I discovered that if the two drives were on their own channels they needed the jumpers in a NEUTRAL position instead of the master position I usually use.
I just read the specs on your motherboard and it seems as if it has two IDE channels for the RAID. Try going through the docs for you drives. You may find the solution is as simple as changing the jumpers. Good Luck.
