Re: Installing RH 9.0 on PDC20265

["Greg Tallis" <gtallis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried the instructions in the readme and use expert mode and

the long list of kernel arguments, but the machine sits around for 15

minutes the loads anaconda. When I try to start Disk Druid, it tells me

to check my hardware and then reboots.

I have tried the 20265 drivers for RH 7.x and it crashes the installation.

The RH 8/9 drivers for the 2027x cause it to not detect the drives.

 

-Thanks

Help!
I am pretty new to Linux, and I am having trouble installing on
a RAID 0 array. I have a Gigabyte GA-7DXR motherboard with
the PDC20265R Fastrack 100 "Lite" ATARAID controller.
When I do the normal RH 9.0 install it detects 2 40GB drives.
When I use a driver diskette, it does not detect any drives at all.

Have you read the readme on the driver disk?

I have another drive I can use, but I would prefer to use the RAID.
Linux Software RAID is not an option since I also need Windows
to use the array. If anyone can tell me where to get drivers and
how to use them, I would appreciate it.
