Package: debian-installer Version: daily build My Silicon Image 3112 SATA RAID controller was detected
fine, module siimage.o is installed ok, and partconf offers me the choice of “IDE5 (hde)” or “IDE6 (hdf)”
… … it notes that both drives
have a single partition filling the entire disk, and it tells me I must delete
one of them, and create a linux partition, before I
can install. It has failed to spot that the two drives form a hardware
RAID array, which contains a WinXP installation and
has plenty of space left for Debian. This is weird – how come it detects the controller and
can talk to the drives, but it doesn’t understand the RAID array? The WinXP driver managed it …. Ho hum. CC P.S. I have no hard disks on the ATA133 controller,
just a pair of DVD drives (hdb and hdc). |
