Duncan, It is ITE 8212 (I'm not sure if it is an "F" though). The driver for RedHat and Mandrake are available on giga-byte.com. When you say I'm out of luck, what exactly does that mean? - I have to wait until linux boots before I can see those drives as plain old IDE drives (which means I can boot off those drives) - I have to wait until the kernel is loaded (and subsequently the raid driver) in order to see the raid device (ie. after I've configured a raid device during the bios raid config util)? - I'll never be able to see those drives regardless if they are raid or plain? - Maybe something completely different Thanks Jay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Duncan Hill" <dhill@cricalix.net> To: <me@heyjay.com> Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 12:38 AM Subject: Re: Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 and raid > On Thursday 29 April 2004 05:19, me@heyjay.com wrote: > > This is sorta a pre-software-raid question. > > > > I just bought and built a box around the Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 Mobo.
