Hi, sorry if not is the correct list, but I have found than this issue have been threaded before [1] and I have a some aspects not very clear, I would like to ask to the list about it. We have bought a HPProliant ML150 G2 that comes with a RAID controller. This raid controller is a Adaptec HostRaid 8130 SATA Galileo/SATA II PI-X. 1) I have found some people that says that this controller is the _same_ (or can use) [2] the Marvell 88SX6541-BCZ driver. Please, could you confirm this? 2) in many places I see that the card is named my the vendor Hercules, but I found Galileo. It's the same? 3) I couldn't to use the raid because I have only a HD. The newest installers detect my only disk, but when I try to install it all is very slow, and dmesh show a lot of timeouts errors from the ata driver. I think that I have the same behavior that [3], but the bug is marked as done. However I used a full cd from Thursday 16 March and I don't know if the bus is repaired. 4) I have found BIOS RAID support on Linux 2.6.x with dmraid [4], and maybe it could be a solution for who wants to use the raid. Someone have used it? And well, the last one, (sorry for all the questions) it's worsewhile to install a amd64 debian version in a this box that comes with a xeon with emt? Best regards, and thank's in advance.
