is there any news/updates on anaconda supporting dmraid?
Up to now i had a sil3112 in redhat 9 because there is a module that
make the raid system works.
But being very slow, and giving problems. Like the one that happened
now, that destroyed to mirrored drives makes me
try to update to a more up to date system like Fedora Core 3.
So, if anyone has any way to do this i'd appreciate. I really didn't
want to have to install RH9 again.
It is possible to install FC3 on a DMRaid array but it's not for the faint
hearted.
I have installed FC3 on a Promise TX2000 3 disk raid 0 using DMRaid. I used
the info/patches provided by Mark Wormgoor,
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-October/msg00728.html,
which added DMRaid support to Anaconda (although I had to further patch
Mark's code). This required rebuilding the stage2.img from the FC3 install
which I then installed on the target machine over a HTTP connection rather
than from CD (couldn't be bothered rebuilding the CD's). I also had to
install grub from FC-development as Grub in FC3 wouldn't work with my DMRaid
array.
You may be as well waiting for FC4 which I'm hoping will have native DMRaid
support.
Perhaps Heinz could clarify the state of DMRaid in FC4 as FC4test2 certainly
didn't have native support (though I haven't tried the newly released test3
revision)?
Anaconda support fro dmraid is being worked on.
No release date confimred yet :(

That machine i was talking about i had to go on with it, so i created a
software raid with some IDE disks. But i taken out the SIL3112A
controller and the 2 SATA disks. So i'll be trying those patchs soon.
I've tried some anaconda patches before, but anaconda started to giving
errors in the setup, and i didn't managed to get to the install part.
