Thank you.
Well from the ataraid driver documentation, the device name is
/dev/ataraid/d0px both in 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
And to the best of my knowledge the right driver is compiled into the kernel.
I've trying doing Shift+PgUp, but I cannot scroll back. Actually, the
system doesn't respond to any key, not even Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Any idea ?
