Hello again.....Have a question regarding an installation of Red Hat 7.3 on a new box. It is P3 1.2g, 512ram, TUSI-M motherboard with integrated lan, audio, and video. An IDE CD-ROM, connected on motherboard secondary slave. An Adaptec 2930 with a Seagate tape drive. Now the fun one....a Promise Technology FastTrak TX2000, setup in BIOS as a 'Security' Mirror array with a 40gig hard drive on IDE1 Master, and IDE2 Master which I need everything to be installed on. It uses the PDC20271 chip. The only thing I am needing help with is this Promise card....when I start installation, it sees the card, but when Im asked to partition, I can create partitions on /dev/hde and /dev/hdg, each of which have 40 gig available. I have followed the ATA-RAID HOWTO (
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ATA-RAID-HOWTO/index.html) but get the same results. Shouldnt I see this as one 40g drive that I can just mount as normal and fiddle with? Any help would be much appreciated...Ive spent 2 days digging around on the web and newsgroups for any help, and so far doesnt look promising.
I also added another hard drive on motherboard primary master, installed OS to it, rebuilt kernel, and still have the same results. Was expecting that, but at least gave it a try.
Also, the drivers on Promise's site at
http://www.promise.com/support/mix_d...88&family_id=2 are the same ones referenced in ATA-RAID HOWTO.
Thanks,
Josh
