Hi.
I am fairly new to Linux, so my question might be easy, I hope... I apologize for the long post, but I think that all the info is relevant. I am having trouble setting up RAID1 (mirror) on the 2.4.21-pre7 kernel (that is the latest, I believe) Here is my hardware configuration: Motherboard: Gigabyte VIA KT400 with onboard Fasttrack Promise 20276 controller CPU: Duron 800Mhz IDE0: 20GB HDD (/dev/hda) and a CD-ROM (/dev/hdb) RAID Controller: 2 120GB HDDs (/dev/hde and /dev/hdg) I have set up a RAID1 (mirror) in the Fasttrack bios. I have installed working kernel on /dev/hda. I have compiled a new kernel with these options: CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NS87415 is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW=y CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_PDC=m I installed the new kernel and rebooted. Here are
the related parts of
startup messages /var/log/syslog:

purpose for easier troubleshooting.
When I try to do: "modprobe pdcraid", I get this on the screen: /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o: insmod pdcraid failed If I type dmesg, I get this:
Promise Fasttrak(tm) Softwareraid driver 0.03beta: No raid array found Does anyone have an idea on what I can try to get this working? What is involved in finding the array? (i.e. exactly what does it look for?) Does anyone have a similar setup working? Thanks in advance. Val |
