Hi,

I have been using multiple Promise cards under RH7.3 (and Win NT4) in boxes
with up to 12 IDE drives, with no problems at all.

Regards,
Peter

Subject: support for controller and Serial ATA



Hi,
I have a Dell poweredge 2300 machine running RHEL 3 with one of the SCSI
drives giving a sign of failing (a bunch of kernel error IO message once in
a
while).
I am thinking of just replacing it with IDE drives and probably run software
RAID 1, but I need to get PCI to ATA controller card.

Anyone has any suggestion for card that will just work without any major
hassle ?

I'm looking at Promise card here:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=16-102-007&catalog
=410&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=0

and wondering if people have used it and satisfied (or not ) with it.

Another thing I'm considering is to use Serial ATA card and Serial ATA
drives
instead, because they're faster. Does the kernel, specifically in RH 9 and
RHEL 3, support that already?

Thanks for any info you can give me.

RDB
