Hi, I believe every distribution which ships with kernel 2.4.18 should be able to support ataraid. Note however that the current kernel driver for the HPT370a (which is on your Abit VP6) does NOT support mirroring... (Who needs it then?) If you want to install you system on mirorred disks you will have to use the HigPoint drivers and boot-disks...

Meinel Jr. Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 08:16 To: ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Abit VP6 A while ago I set up my machine to run on an abit VP6 motherboard. I actually had to trick it by using an extra harddrive as the base install, then create a patched kernel, and then move the installed directories over to new mount points on the raid drives. Certainly not something that I would prefer to do again. So I was wondering if ataraid is a part of the official kernel yet. I realize it didn't really look like it was going to be, because of design issues, but since I haven't been staying up to date on it, I wanted to know what was happening. Also, I was wondering if there was any stock installs that support the installation. I think I saw that Suse 8.0 supports some form of ataraid "out of the box" and I was wondering if that's true for the newer Red Hat or Mandrake installations. Thanks for your help, John =:-> _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
