Hi,
Can anyone explain why the dmesg raid info?
Since I do not have raid. I myself did not install raid nor did I tell it to use raid.
There is only one scsi hard drive and one IDE cdrom drive in each of the next mentioned two machines.
Portion of dmesg outputs raid info this happens on two different machines. One uses an Asus P2bs motherboard with ultra 2 (u2w lvd) Adaptec controller that's built into the motherboard . It's running Slackware 10.1 using the adaptec.s kernel. The other machine uses an Abit BX6 motherboard (no on motherboard scsi controller) but on it I do use an Adaptec 29160 an Ultra 160 pci scsi adapter. This second machine runs the latest Kanotix distro it's installed onto the scsi hard drive.
Using Google I searched linuxquestions.org for raid5
site:linuxquestions.org raid5
It turned up some hits mainly in the context of dmesg output
Once again, very nearly if not the same as my two machines dmesg output.
Does anyone have an explanation?
Both my machines also have onboard IDE controllers and I hope this is not confusing the adaptec.s kernel?
On Slackware 10.1, I told it to install the adaptec.s kernel (I hope that's the correct kernel though not absolutely certain that it is so). Can anyone enlighten me a bit more on this issue?
Both machines seem to run alright. Thanks. Alan.
Here's a snippet of dmesg output from the u2w the Slackware 10.1 machine:
