Hello,
I just bought a Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW+ motherboard with onboard Promise PDC 20276 RAID Controller.
I have 2 WD 120GB HDDs that I would like to setup in RAID1. The OS is RedHat 7.3.
I managed to install it using the drivers provided in Promise's site. After the installation I tried to upgrade the kernel using up2date and it stopped working.
I tried to use the ataraid drivers but had no luck loading the pdcraid driver.
After reading that this RAID card is actually doing software RAID I decided that it is probably better to use the Linux MD driver instead.
I switched the RAID mode to ATA in the bios. The RedHat installation is not detecting the HDDs. If I try to use the Promise driver disk it is detecting it as RAID device and not ATA like I want it to.
How can I make it detect the HDDs as normal devices?
P.S. Everytime I boot Linux I get "IRQ probe failed" errors for hd(a-d) (the normal ATA controller).
Sagi
