Re: redhat 8.0 and HighPoint372 ATA/133 RAID

is the entire OS on that Mirror?  Or is it 
Data only?

You can use the 7.3 drivers but you must "insmod -f 
%modulename%" for it to install on 8.0... I got mine working but the OS was NOT 
on the Highpoint Hard Disk... only my DB data was on the mirror, so 8.0 
installed fine then I had to go back and install the driver manually for the OS 
to see the mirror and my DB data.

  ATA/133 RAID

  Hey list.

  I have been using the hpt raid controllers for a 
  couple of years now, and am rebuilding a system based on the SOYO Dragon 
  motherboard with the onboard Highpoint 372 RAID controller.  I'm 
  using 2 ATA/133 80 drives, and trying to install redhat 8.0.  It's a 
  PHP/MySQL Apache server, so it's a mirrored RAID-1.

  The highpoint site does not have an installation 
  disk for anything later than 7.3, what do you guys suggest,
  Installing 7.3 using the 7.3 driver disk from 
  highpoint-tech.com, then upgrading to 8.0?

  Anyone working on this setup as well?  I'd 
  love to have somebody to compare notes 
with.
