SOLVED (2.4) Promise FastTrak100 on Sarge install?
Installing 2.4 kernel for Sarge, if your promise raid is not detected
and you see only separated disks, do ALT+F2, press ENTER to activate the
console, and do
modprobe pdcraid
Now I can see /dev/ataraid/disc0/disc when partitioning.
However, I can't see any raid driver in 2.6 initrd.
Best regards,
Roman
