Re: Promise FastTrak 100 TX4 success!

["Shawn Evans" <shawnwe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey... that is cool.. looks like I might be reinstalling my TX4.  How would 
be the best way to do this, without a complete reinstall?  Move it from the 
SW raid to my backupdrive and restore it, with it working on the HW Raid?

Thanks,

Shawn

FWIW, I am running Mandrake 8.0. I abandoned the stock kernel for 2.4.16
because it Works. In all other aspects, it's a stock 8.0 install, and seems
to run great.

Just an idea. Try the 2.4.16 kernel.
