HD detection Promise Ultra 100Tx2
Hello, I am new to Debian, but a long time linux user. I wanted to
install debian on a system with these basic specs:
Tyan Tiger MP w/ AMD Athlon MP 1800+ processors.
1GB RAM
Promise Ultra 100 Tx2 controller with 2 HDD's (WD 100GB 7200RPM)
SB PCI 128 audio
Geforce 3 Ti 500 Graphics controller.
Sony DVD
Yamaha CD-RW
Zip 250
I started with 2.2r5 install disks, and they couldn't detect the
Promise controller. I checked the driver disks, and couldn't find the
necessary module. After some looking, I discovered that under your
testing distribution there was a udma100 w/ ext3 floppy installation.
Perfect!
The problem:
Only one disk of the two are detected. My intention is to make raid
partitions to install on, so it is imperative that both are detected at
boot time.
FYI, I can verify that the drives get detected by the controllers bios,
and I also installed RH7.2 (not meant as a slight) to this same machine
using software RAID 0 with no problems.
Thanks for all your work, and let me know if I need to provide more info,
or anything else.
