But stick with it - you may end up doing that... What hardware/distro etc are you using? Is this an expensive (hundreds of £) card? Or an onboard/motherboard chipset? Once you answer this then it may be worth suggesting using sw-raid (in which case we can help out) or pointing you elsewhere... > I successfully built a new kernel and am able to boot from it. > However, I need to incorporate a specific RAID driver (adpahci.ko) so we > can use the on-board RAID. I think this is the adaptec proprietary code - in which case you may need a very specific kernel to run it. You may find others on here who can help but you'll probably need an Adaptec forum/list. > I have the adpahci.ko and am unable to get > it to compile against any other kernel because I don't have the original > kernel module (adpahci.c I assume is what I need).
