Hello,
I've been trying (without success) all day to make this thing work with the 2.4.22 kernel.
I am sure I have all the options set in the kernel but the driver doesn't seems to see the array ( I just use mirroring)
The promise driver is working fine (of course complaining about different kernel versions as theirs is built for 2.4.20) but I have used the ataraid drivers for a long time and I don't want to go with the promise one.
Is anyone using a TX2000 with the ataraid driver ? Any sugestions are welcomed !
thank you.
