Hello, I'm still trying to get my system to work with RAID, bit by bit I get a little further but now I've crossed across the next problem. I got my system booting with 2 hds attached to the Promise 20378 (SATA378), however when I activate RAID in the BIOS... The driver for the controller suddenly stops working (says there aren't any cards). Here's how I do things now: I've compiled a kernel scsi_mod and sd_mod I compiled the pdc-ultra module I created a EXT2 initrd - from Documentation/initrd.txt in the kernel source tree Changed lilo.conf and fstab to go from /dev/hda to /dev/sda Shutdown -h now Open case - move IDE cable from normal IDE controller to RAID controller Turn on again It worked fine, the SATA378 was recognised :-) I rebooted, turned on RAID in the BIOS, the raid bios recognised the active array The system starts booting... When it tries to modprobe pdc-ultra it fails :-( Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Ron PS. Could you please cc any replies to me? I'm not on the list.
Did you also compile these options? # # Multi-device support (RAID and LVM) # CONFIG_MD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=y CONFIG_MD_RAID0=y CONFIG_MD_RAID1=y CONFIG_MD_RAID5=y CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM=y -Roberto
