TurboLinux has the ability to install on a DAC960.
(www.turbolinux.com: Get only the *server* boot/extrawh floppies,
Workstation only has RAID on the CDROM)
I'd be happy to explain what we did to make the installer work:
* dac960 is a module
* /dev/rd* automagically mknod'd for partitioning
* mkinitrd run to make sure the module is available
Of course, you have to pre-build the RAID device with the Mylex
tools.
However, it seems like more is wrong than a simple install problem.
Wish you luck!
Ciao!
