-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I use a relatively old pentium-200 with a 0.6G and a 1.2G HDD for testing the promise fasttrak-100. I use linux-2.4.16 and Checked all the required options ( using README from Arjans dir at redhat) Still I got some problems: 1. The kernel help says the driver for PDC202[..|..|68]. I got PDC 20270 (100-TX2-V2.00-B2) is that okay? 2. using /dev/ataraid/d0 works fine (see 3.). I can store and read data on it. The only thing that doesn't work is crash recovery in the adaptor's BIOS. 3. Okay, I read the list archive and found that /dev/ataraid/d0p1 might be the device I have to use. Using this device I get this answer from fdisk: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [root@unsinkbar2:~]$ fdisk -l /dev/ataraid/d0p1 Disk /dev/ataraid/d0p1: 32 heads, 63 sectors, 0 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 bytes Disk /dev/ataraid/d0p1 doesn't contain a valid partition table [root@unsinkbar2:~]$ fdisk /dev/ataraid/d0p1 Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. You must set cylinders. You can do this from the extra functions menu. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (writing zeroes on the disk i.e. [dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ataraid/d0] helped in earlier problems (non-raid) but not in this case) What did I do wrong? - -- Regards, Marcus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjwfgJ4ACgkQ2Z4k7D/yQIkkUgCeP93McBqQAc9qpR9axvxX0ckY nNIAmwf+q4CmMAzYMetKzIMTN5WEvArq =jNFY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
