Hi all, I'm currently trying to get my raid set to boot under debian. I know this is a redhat list, but could not find any other appropriate place to post my questions. Hope you don't mind too much. I have noticed there are several guide out there, but neither one of them describes what I want to do I think. I'll just describe my situation. I've got a Fasttrak 100 ata RAID card, with 1 raid 1 array.Currently I've got a working setup on a 40 gig drive, but the entir setup has to be transferred onto a 80 gig raid 1. (Using ghost to do this ... maybe dd is a valid alternative ?) I'm in the porcess of recompiling the kernel. Most of the docs say "get modules" so this is my kernel config: <M> Support for IDE Raid controllers <M> Support Promise software RAID (Fasttrak(tm)) <M> Highpoint 370 software RAID Am I forgetting something kernel-wise ? now, when I do insmod ataraid i get this : mail:~# insmod ataraid Using /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/ide/ataraid.o so my system is ataraid enabled, now when I try to use the fasttrack module I created I get this : mail:~# insmod pdcraid Using /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters mail:~# insmod hptraid Using /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/ide/hptraid.o /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/ide/hptraid.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters mail:~# how do I enter the parameters ? I figured I should use this : ide2=0xb800,0xb402,10 ide3=0xb000,0xa802,10 but ide2 is not know as a parameter to insmod So theoretically I should be able to read, mount my raid set. How do I make it booteable, and make sure that debian runs off it too ? Thanks in advance, PJ
