well, my expirience was that with the latest bf24 flavour boot disc, they have ataraid already compiled in the kernel, it works without any recompiling or something like this. If you already installed debian on a non raid root partition, you will have to recompile the kernel the easiest way would be I think: get kernel sources (I would recommend 2.4.20) get the config from the bf24 boot discs: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/bf2.4/kernel-config install make-kpkg after you unpaked the kernel, cd in you kernel directory make menuconfig select "Load an Alternate Configuration File" insert the path to the config exit,+save changes make dep make-kpkg binary cd .. dpkg -i kernel-*.deb reboot that should be it mfg Albert Dengg On Sat, 29 Mar 2003 02:13:27 -0000 "Rob Dupuis" <robd@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Albert. > > Sorry to mail you off list, but I was wondering if you could give me > any pointers to getting fasttrak 100 lite up and running under debian. > I have an msi 694d pro with the promise pdc20265 chip on board.
