i want to install debian to server with two IDE 80GB disks on a Hardware RAID. The Controller is a Promise Fasttrak tx 2000.
??? Hardware Raid ???
This Controler is not a real Hardware RAID. For that use a 2-Channel 3Ware Controller.
My partner got this as a RAID Solution from a local vendor together with Hot Swap Chassis for the Harddisks.
So, my problem is, who do I get the system booting from the IDE RAID.
With a Bootfloppy ;-))
It is possible to boot from the IDE RAID Array
I did the following:
- installed an additional IDE harddisk - installed debian on this disk. - built the kernel from source - built the FastTrak.o kernel module driver from source - built the kernel module driver for NIC from source (which also was not recognised) - put the two modules on a floppy - uninstalled additional ide - booted from CD to install debian and loaded the two modules with the installer. The IDE Array was recognised as /dev/sda - created parttions and so on. - it works
what is still is something that would send an email if one of the drive fails.
Thank you for the reply, Unfortunatly I didn't have enough time to write a documentation about it and put it in the web.
