This is related to my: "Re: Problems with the Promise Fastrak100 and 2.4.8-ac7 (Alan Miles) (Alan Miles)" entries to this forum (although I am now using 2.4.9-ac5 - however my problems are the same). My Promise Fast Trak100 Raid controller has two id's on boot: 1/ Two identical drives on one unit Raid 0 -Striped 2/ Separate drive on the other id Raid 0 -Striped Now the pdcraid MAKEDEV script makes the devices for /dev/ataraid/d0, /dev/ataraid/d0p[0-1]([0-9])* These have a major number of 114. I would assume I need /dev/ataraid/d1, /dev/ataraid/d1p[0-1]([0-9])* devices, but I don't know what Major Numbers to use.

My problem is to installing the agpgart for my Geforce 2 MX. I am a newby in linux and tried to compile the Alan Cox Kernel 2.4.6-ac with the patches as a second Kernel on my System. All goes well during Installation of the Kernel and the script for the dev/ataraid devices. Now I have problems with your Makefile. I don´t now in which directory I have to install your driver to run the Makefile for my new Kernel. The Makefile look always to my old kernelversion and not to the new one. I have packed the old Linux-2.4.2-2 Kernel in an Archiv, it is enough? I have now two directories in lib/modules. What do I wrong?

Red Hat has noth to do with the Promise propriatry driver. In fact, once you load that into your kernel, we KNOW things will go funny in your system..... Also, there was a minor issue with mtrr's in the original Red Hat Linux 7.1 kernel, that has been fixed in the 2.4.3-12 errata kernel Red Hat releases several months ago. But you can't use that because Promise doesn't support that kernel with their driver :( --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Mike Tharp" <chexmeex@xxxxxxxx> To: <ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: is this compile correct?
