Hello again, I tried once more to install FC3. Here is what I get with dmesg command: I noticed some logs from dmesg are interesting. Kernel disables ata1 port with abnormal status 0x7F. What does this mean? ata: 0x1f0 IDE port busy PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.2 to 64 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xE908 irq 15 ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x177 ata1: disabling port I also tried to load dmread module with command "insmod dmraid". Is that true to load driver with insmod, or is there any driver called "dmraid" or something else (like dm_raid - in fact I tried insmod dm_raid but again I get nothing). I cannot find any documentation about that. Here is the output of dmesg command: ======================================================================== = 8 is not supported by device 0000:00:1d.7 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2004-May-10 hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-0:1.0: 8 ports detected USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v2.2 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1d.0[A] -> GSI 3 (level, low) -> IRQ 3 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: UHCI Host Controller PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1d.0 to 64 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: irq 3, io base 0000e000 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1d.1[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: UHCI Host Controller PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1d.1 to 64 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: irq 11, io base 0000e100 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 3-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1d.2[C] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: UHCI Host Controller PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1d.2 to 64 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: irq 5, io base 0000e200 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 hub 4-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 4-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1d.3[D] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: UHCI Host Controller PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1d.3 to 64 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: irq 10, io base 0000e300 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 5 hub 5-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 5-0:1.0: 2 ports detected usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using address 2 usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using address 2 Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: USB2.0 Model: CF CardReader Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 2 scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: hp Model: Drive Key Rev: 3.04 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sdb: 127840 512-byte hdwr sectors (65 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: Mode Sense: 45 00 00 08 sdb: assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 2 usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. ohci1394: $Rev: 1223 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@xxxxxxxxxx> ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:0a.0[A] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[5] MMIO=[d0100000-d01007ff] Max Packet=[2048] ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[00301bb60000a604] usbcore: deregistering driver usb-storage tg3.c:v3.10 (September 14, 2004) ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:01:00.0 to 64 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0 eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95751) rev 4001 PHY(5750)] (PCIX:100MHz:32-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:30:1b:b6:a5:a0 eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] Split[0] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1] libata version 1.02 loaded. ata_piix version 1.02 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1f.2[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 ata: 0x1f0 IDE port busy PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.2 to 64 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xE908 irq 15 ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x177 ata1: disabling port scsi2 : ata_piix Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb 1-1: reset high speed USB device using address 2 Vendor: USB2.0 Model: CF CardReader Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 2 scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb 4-1: reset full speed USB device using address 2 Vendor: hp Model: Drive Key Rev: 3.04 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sdb: 127840 512-byte hdwr sectors (65 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: Mode Sense: 45 00 00 08 sdb: assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi4, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 2 usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered.

That is because the RAID BIOS simulates a single disk. It does this by hooking a software interrupt known as INT13. Boot loaders, DOS, Windows and a bunch of other stuff uses this interrupt to access the disk. Therefore, they only see 1 disk, although it is really a RAID array. The INT13 calls are "stacked". This means that the software that your RAID BIOS hooks into INT13 checks to see if a request made is to one of the disks it is simulating. In case it is to a different (non-RAID or on a different controller) disk, it just calls the old handler, which is "lower in the stack". So much for that. Under Linux, only the boot loader generally uses INT13. The boot loader just loads the kernel. In order for disk accesses to be fast and more sophisticated, the kernel has it's own disk access mechanism, which resides in something you could call a IDE hardware driver module or whatever you fancy. I think Windows might have a fallback mechanism, so that it uses INT13 in case it can't find a driver, but really, I'm not sure. Perhaps only in Safe Mode. > But I cannot install Windows XP and Linux without RAID drivers. Ok. > When I try to install FC3, it cannot find any hard drive, and aborts the > installation. So how can I install FC3 to my Logical Partition 2? In the installer, you can break out into a shell by pressing CTRL-ALT-F2. Once in the shell, type "dd if=/dev/hda of=test count=1". If the hardware driver needed to access your disks is correctly in place, this should succeed. The driver might not be loaded until right before the 'disk partition' step is reached in the installer, so perhaps you need to click 'next' a couple of times before opening the shell. Once you've established that the hardware driver is in place, you need to have a piece of software that reads RAID metadata from the two physical disks and simulates one disk on top of the hardware driver. This software is dmraid. I've got no idea if dmraid is included with Fedora Core 3, but it's RedHat, so perhaps. Otherwise, download the DMRAID LiveCD generously provided by Gerte Hoogewerf. You should be able to download it here: http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/ Unfortunately, it won't install anything. And you can't test RAID1. RAID1 in dmraid is broken anyway, at least for HighPoint controllers. ************************************************************************ Bu elektronik posta ve onunla iletilen butun dosyalar sadece gondericisi tarafindan almasi amaclanan yetkili gercek ya da tuzel kisinin kullanimi icindir.
