HI all
This is my first post to this list. I am building several new servers over the next day or two and I need to
have them on-line on
Monday morning. I will be using the Promise Fast Track 100 TX4 controller
with a Gigabyte GA-
7ZXR (Rev 3.X). The onboard Gigabyte controller will be disabled on the
GA-7ZXR. I am want to
use Redhat 7.2 on these servers. So my question is: is there a driver
disk or boot disk image
available for the TX4 and RH 7.2? I can use the binary drivers that
Promise has for RH 7.1 but I
would rather use the open source drivers and RH 7.2 if possible. Also is
there step by step
instruction available if there is not a boot image disk or a driver disk.
Thank you in advance Michael Steinhart PMH Systems mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx

If you want to build servers, it is probably better (and faster) to use the software raid features from linux and not the ataraid drivers. So you don´t need any driver disk.

Well, That's only a options when booting linux from a NON - RAID array, isn't?

AFAIK you can set up a raid device during the installation and with an initrd-img you can load the md-drivers before the partitions are mounted.
