I'm dealing with a A7V266-E with the on-board promise 20265 chip, with a RAID 0 array of 2 disks. I installed redhat 7.2 on a third disk on the VIA IDE controller. I want to create a linuxfromscratch on my promise RAID 0 array. Redhat 7.2 has the ataraid drivers built-in. That's why the dev entries are already there. You can find the modules in the /lib/modules/"kernelversion"/kernel/driver/ide. My kernel version is 2.4.9-13 because I used the update RPM for the kernel. Those modules are not loaded by default. I wanted to play with the array with sfdisk... I have to --force sfdisk because I have the error: "BLKRRPART: invalid parameter"--> Bug ? Well I think if you want to install redhat straight on your array, the disk partition program will get lost because of the pb revealed previously. I expect a better support in the latest kernels. Then I'm going to update manually my redhat distro to the 2.4.16 or .17, as well as the modules. Hopefully, sfdisk won't complaint anymore. To make things trickier, on the first partition of the array I have XP installed... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Espen Faatz" <faatz@xxxxxxxxx> To: <ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 4:56 PM Subject: Re: Trouble with Promise fasttrack > Kruijswijk E (FDRO Zeist) wrote: > > >Didn't you forget to create the device ? > > > >Quote: > >How to use: ataraid.tar.gz source file > >1.
