Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would have input concerning the following problem.
I have a linux box with an MSI 694D motherboard (dual PIII processor) with an on
board RAID driver from Promise (Fasttrack 100 Lite, 20265). The machine is happily
working with linux RH 70 (2.2.16-22smp) and the Promise driver (rhddsmp-110b6).
I wanted to upgrade to a 2.4 kernel and my understanding was that the newest kernels
should have incorporated support for RAID Promise 20265. I downloaded 2.4.16 compiled with the ATA
RAID options, SMP support and installed it on an additional harddrive. However, as soon as I activate the
RAID array (i.e. physically plug in the power to the two hard drives that make up the array)
the booting sequences freezes right after detecting the 20265. Everything works fine if there
is no RAID array (ie., the two hard drives are power unplugged).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions to debug this.
Fabrizio.
