I had some success on a similar GA-81RXP with RH73 I started off using Promise's rhup-ftb22 drivers, downloadable as file T-FTS-02-RHD73.zip from their website. However, I kept on getting some errors, and after feedback on this list I dared follow Murty Rompalli's http://www.murty.net/ataraid/main.html except that I used RH73 and kernel 2.4.19 The outcome has been running under moderate load for over a day and things seem to be working pretty well. --- Joseph Davis <joseph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello all: > > I am trying to install Redhat 7.3 on a Gigabyte GA-7ZXR 3.X using > the Promise Raid "lite". > > Question 1: Is there a step by step guide for doing this somewhere? > I am trying to set up mirroring for fault tolerance. > > I have already done: > > used the promise utility to configure the array, with two WD40G > drives. > > Curiously, when I tried to install RH, I still saw both disks, is > that > normal (I didn't expect that with hardware raid)? > > I got a driver off the promise web site that is for RH 7.[0123] > "rhup-ftb14.tgz", and used this with the "linux dd" option for > installing > RH, but no luck. > > I suspect I have failed to modify the kernel, and I have no idea of > how to do that part :-((. > > Any help would be appreciated! > > Thanks > > Joseph Davis > UH > > PS: I just bought another Gigabyte motherboard, the more recent > version > of the previous one(GA 7VRXP), and I would like to install W98(for > games) > and RH on it.
