I installed a system with a Promise Fasttrack IDE-RAID controller a few weeks ago and after compiling a fresh 2.4.17 kernel it worked just fine. Though I wouldn't recommend it for a production system as the RAID has to be resynced at BIOS-stage as soon as a disk fails. So if you use a pair of 100GB drives it will take some hours to get the system up again... mfg Markus -- Markus Oswald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ Unix and Network Administration Graz, AUSTRIA \ High Availability / Cluster Mobile: +43 676 6485415 || +43 664 4865125 \ System Consulting Fax: +43 316 428896 \ Web Development -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
