Ok Heres the deal, Im currently running Windows 98, Im ditching microsoft completly on my desktop, its a PIII750 Dual IBM 20Giggers on a Promise FastTrak66, Radeon 64MB DDR, 256MB Ram LCD Flat panel Sound blaster live etc. etc. My problem lyes in the fact that i want to run RAID0, Im thinking about ditching the promise (Since they, A only have beta linux drivers and B wont realse the source for someone else to port them) and thinking of getting a escalade 5000 (www.3ware.com) or running software raid, I want to be able to install to this raid device mind you, install and boot, its going to be the only IDE hard drive(s) in the system.
Now ive talked to a 3ware tech rep, they offer RH and SuSE modules and openly give out the source, he said the latest kernals should support it though, at any rate has anyone tried or is using this? If so can you help me get through it, or find a boot disk with the module compiled on it? Im fairly new to linux so any help would be..well...helpful Tim Brown
