Hi all folks, May-be previously I made a mistake. RH9.0 does not recognize my RAID Controller Test as follows; After booting up with RH9.0 CD#1 Seleting "Manual partition" Showing up only 2 drives, hda and hdc not as an entire drive of total capacity 80G (each HD has 40G capacity) as in Win environment. I can only choose either hda or hdc to proceed This is an old RAID box for test purpose RAID controller Z-Cyber Speedway 133 + RAID During booting the motherboard detects the RAID controller Win98 and Win2K have been running on this box without problem. Before I also have installed only RH9.0 on it. It ran without problem but I did not recognize whether the RAID controller has been detected. I chose "Automatically partition" Sorry I could not recall exactly. Kindly advise how to make the RAID controller detected by RH9.0. I have its floppy for installing Win driver but not Linux Any suggestion? Thanks in advance. B.R.
