Re: problem with ATA133 PCI card and Woody install
Hello Kovacs, I agree with Andrei, you should try to compile your own kernel.
Activating this two options deppending on what you are looking for.
[*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) ? ?
? ? <*> RAID support
? ? < > Linear (append) mode
< > RAID-0 (striping) mode
< > RAID-1 (mirroring) mode
< > RAID-4/RAID-5 mode
< > Multipath I/O support
< > Logical volume manager (LVM) support
IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices --->
<*> Support for IDE Raid controllers ?
? ? < > Support Promise software RAID (Fasttrak(tm))
? ? < > Highpoint 370 software RAID
Good luck!
Chainy.
