Hi there I am a Newbie in RAID and want to set up a Debian-Woody-Server on a TYAN Thunderbold Dual Prozessor Mainboard w/ 2x PentiumIII and Adaptec AIc-7896N SCSI Chip onboard (but I do not use it) PROMISE Fastrak100 IDE-PCI-card w/ 4x 60Gb IBM HDDs.
I first installed the minimal-System on an extra HDD (hda), compiled a customised Kernel, set up the Raid and moved the System onto the Raid. So far, it works fine, even booting of the Raid (I have a RAID1-boot-partition and a RAID5-root-partition) using LILO works. The only thing I do not get to work is booting without the extra HDD. If I use the MBR of the extra HDD (hda) for booting the System starts perfect, I even can change from this MBR (hda) to the MBR on the Raid-Disk (hde) and boot, but I cannot but using hde direktly. I turned of the SCSI onboard in the Main-BIOS and define an Array in the RAID-BIOS, then my BIOS trys to boot of hde, if I set the Main-BIOS to SCSI boot, but LILO crashes after LI Did anyone get a System booting direkt of hde with a FastTrak100 so far? Can anyone tell me how to use grub as Bootloader for RAID? (if it works) Or does that not work at all without an extra HDD? Maybe a mix of Software- and ATA-Raid might be a solution. Does anyone have experience with a FastTrak100 ? cu klaus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
