Hello !
I have some dificulties getting 2 Promise Raid controllers to work in linux.
The cards are:
An onboard Raid controller "light" (PDC20265)
and an "Offboard" PCI controller (20267)
I can gett them both to work but not at the same time.
The kernel is detecting them and all that but i cant "find" the 2end one in
any dev device file.
The drivers im using is the GPL drivers in patch-2.4.9-ac9.gz and it works
fine exept that i can get both to work at the same time.. im lost..
I have the device files in /dev/ataraid/d0 < that one is working fine.. but
i whant /dev/ataraid/d1 < To work..
I dont know if this is the way at all, becuse the script that made the first
d0(p1-15 Partitions on array) devises only did d0 not d1-d15 i got those
from an RPM archive that i installed..
The problem is like when you have more than one equal networkcard whit the
same driver compiled in the kernel.
Then you need an append tagg i lilo.conf so the kernel continues to search
for more than one card..
Or somting like that... i dont Know realy...
And in the drivers it says that you can use up to 3 cards with out problmes
over that you need some cinda new bios or driver thingie
I would be happy to get any sort of help/hints...
