I just installed an old SIIG controller card in an empty PCI slot on my machine. Its an ATA controller card, has 2 connectors. After I had booted from the rescue CD and updated my /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf and rebooted, I ran harddrake2. When I clicked on the "Configure" button for the new item in the list of detected hardware, I got the following message on the console:
Wed Oct 2 21:40:41 2002 Gtk-LOG **: file gtkstatusbar.c: line 233 (gtk_statusbar_pop): assertion `context_id > 0' failed. at /usr/lib/libDrakX/harddrake/ui.pm line 223. and that was the only response I received. Additionally, the new controller card seems to be detected as a raid card: md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. [from dmesg] harddrake2 says: (E)IDE/ATA controllers VT82C586 IDE [apollo] HPT366: Module: hptraid HPT366: Module: hptraid Where the highpoint controller is presumably repeated once for each connector on the card. Narfi. harddrake-ui-1.1.9-53mdk 2.4.19-16mdk ps. Can somebody explain to my why my devices shift when I insert the card: /dev/hda --> /dev/hde /dev/hdc --> /dev/hdg and the card gets /dev/hda, hdb, hdc and hdd? I would've liked my primary and secondary controllers to keep their designations as hda, hdb, hdc and hdd.
