Hi everyone...i have read through all the returned subjects that came back with the searchfunction... but all solutions didnt seem to work, or apply.
i have the following problem, and hope someone could give me a hint.
i installed the hpt37x2 drivers as severly times stated in other posts and also tried out the stuff that comes with the driver.
and all the software and driver thingy seems to work because in my "hwconf" file the raid device is supposed to be on the /dev/sda as follows:
What flavor linux are you running? I have RH8 installed ..yes install on a raid 0 setup with the hpt37x controller...using the scsi emulation. Its very stable but very slow..poor scsi emulation.
The get the 2.4.19 kernel with the ac4 patch and use the ataraid drivers. Build a boot disk first with this setup...it's allot eaiser and faster to work with the floppy until you can perfect it..worked for me. PERSISTANCE
did you ever get this to work? I have nearly the same setup, with HPT370 IDE RAID controllers, RedHat9, kernel 2.4.20-8 (using this kernel just to use the compatible hpt327x module).
But there's no device behind the /dev/sda (or /dev/sdXx either)... I cannot understand why.It's been a while since I used Linux, I'm used to ioscan in HP/UX or devfsadm in Solaris, but how do you do this in Linux?
my room mate and i jacked with this thing for like 2 hours last night. i kept hearing about some scsi emulation and never got it to work. when i stopped jacking with that, and loaded the raid kernel options and the HPT kernel options, and set up the raid0 in the bios, it worked the first time. slackware has a boot kernel specifically for ataraid configurations.. i would imagine other distros would too.
what kernel version are you using? possibly experimental? might make sure experimental drivers are turned on. also, what options do you have turned on under multi-device support?
