hi marcus
to make any raid partition...
you have to either..
a. depend/assume that the installer will allow you to
make raid filesystems
b. create your raid filesystems manually like in the old days
not sure if the debian installer allows oyu to create
"raid partition types" AFTER you ha
Alvin,
how do i make the / partition to put those binaries on?
i want to make it raid0, remember?
i think we are on two different thought-process' here, thanks for the help,
but I think i'm just going to have to wait it out till the next deb. release
when woody becomes stable w/2.4

hi ya
okay...on last post/try...
my question still is what happens if you remove
/boot partition and keep all initial binaries needed for booting
in ONE partition ( / ) ..does it work than...
and if one wants to have a 30Mb complete debian...
i'd guess you'd have to install one package
Zac,
Excellent! We have at least one guy who understands what I was asking
;-) Thanks, hopefully this will clarify things a little bit...
If anyone has any ideas now that the question has been restated, I will
still apreciate the help, if not, well thats how life goes...

Sorry i was jsut wondering if anyone was READING the entire question...
I would help if i could but i dont know, HERE :
The man would like to know how to install Debian having the Whole drive
being a Software RAID, he wants to install CLEAN w/ the raid, now he has
'/boot' [estimated abou
hi ya marcus
if you mean root raid... that'd depend on the installer
rh-7.1, suse-7.2, mandrake-8 can do root/raid
( i tested rh-7.1 a few days ago...was surrpised it worked
for a change... thanx to mingo and crew i guess
i dont think hpt-370 would be ata100 only...that
Alvin,
OK, I will see, I'm just worried the HPT-370 is an "ata-100 only" type thing,
it wouldn't work even at ata33 w/redhat < 2.4 kernel.
My second question would be more about the Debian install process, but perhaps
you will know - Is there any way to setup the install on a RAID array from

hi ya marcus
the system will work at ata33 speed...if you can run at ata66...
it will run there... if you have the ata100 patches it will try to run
faster... supposedly..but it will at least run ata33 as a minimum
( kinda like the modem handshaking...anybody speaking ata100 out there )
even if
Alvin,
Well, my reason for using the onboard hpt controller is mainly that I want
both of those HDD's on a seperate cable. I am used to 10k rpm scsi drives
(spoiled), but need something quieter for where this computer is. I do not
want to put these drives on the same channel as a DVD-rom, cd-bu

I origionally scoured every place I could think of to find a module that
supported RAID for the D*** thing, but couldn't find a thing. I then was
looking at the RH7 doc, and saw a thing about software raid in the GUI
install (I didn't see it in the text version however...?). I just went
ahead a
Alvin,
How would I used the ata-100 patches however, if I am installing the system
on my ATA-100 drives? I got the feeling that older versions of rh at least
w/o 2.4 kernel did not support the hpt-370 w/ata-100 *at all*?
The 2 drives are plugged physically into the hpt-370 controller (1
hi marcus
you need to download the ata-100 patches
search google.com for
"raid ata100 patches"
read the posts and info and experiences of others on
rh and debian et.al w/ ata100 and abit mb's

am confused...
are you using the abit onboard raid controller HPT370
( no /etc/raidtab
Hello everyone,
I've been following this list for a few weeks now, starting to become
more and more interested in Debian. Right now I am running my box on
redhat 7.1 (2.4 kernel), on an IDE Raid 0 (striped) array. I am using
the HPT 370 Raid controller on my abit kt7-raid, in software mode
