The new fasttrack family drivers available from promise.com allow for installation of RedHat (up to 7.2) on the controllers with their new drivers. Unless you have a multiprocessor machine, in which case you are limited to Redhat 7.1.

Lots of the onboard Promise and Highpoint controllers can be jumpered to be just an Ultra 100 Controller. I just do this and then use software RAID 1, and it works good and fast. I have done this on a few Asus A7V-133 based boxes with good success. For real FastTraks, I have heard that you can install one drive, boot and create an array, then remove it and do the same with the 2nd drive. Then install both, reboot, and do the RH Installation, and use SW RAID 1, and all will install well. I could probably dig up the exact posting describing this procedure. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren Togami" <warren@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2002 7:29 AM Subject: Re: Serviceable RAID-1? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Arjan van de Ven" <arjanv@xxxxxxxxxx> > To: <ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 11:22 AM > Subject: Re: Serviceable RAID-1? > > > > > > The driver is included in the Red Hat kernels, > > just the installer doesn't work with it ;( > > > > Arjan, > > Is there any chance that the new Red Hat distrbution will be able to install > directly onto ATARAID?
