------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-22-09 19:37 ------- Ok, I have tried compiling the FastTrak.o file myself. I installed Mandrake to an old 4 gig HD, I edited the make file as Nicolas suggested above and ran it. Put FastTrak.o on an ext2 floppy, and reboot with Mandrake CD. DO expert install, and I get ISMOD FAILED, after loading the driver, and switch to other terminal and there is almost a page worth of unresolved symbols. I then try compiling the .o file without the modification suggested above. BTW, the original make file allready had that modification, and it was commented out. It compiled, and i gave that a try, After selecting the driver, from the floppy, the floppy drive whirrs for a few seconds and stops, then the system seems to freeze up. I wait for a while, like over 10 mins, and still nothing. Cant change terminals with alt-Fx either, nothing, frozen. I checked the floppy, nothing seems to be wrong with it. Its the FastTrak.o, not the fasttrak.o file. i can copy it off of the floppy, too, so i dont think there is anything wrong there. Any suggestions on how to proceede in solving this problem? If there is something i can do, please tell me. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: I have a new PC with the Promise FastTrack sx4000 configured as RAID 5. The chip set is PDC20621. I have tried to install Mandrake 9.2 rc2 and this storage media in not dectected in the set up. I tried some drivers compiled here :http://majestic.lugh.de/~fs/promise/ put the FastTrack.o file on a ext2 formated floppy and tried again. The driver failed to load. "ismod failed" or something like that, looked on other screen and it said something about symbols mismatching. I suppose i could install 9.2 rc2 to anothe machine, and compile the drivers and try that, but i think that i would have to do this EVERYTIME i upgrade. Can some one use the source at http://majestic.lugh.de/~fs/promise/ to help make it so that Mandrake supports this card? Please help.
