Ok, it sounds like this would be the better choice. I'll change it so that it uses megaraid2. > Also, beware that in linux 2.6 the old megaraid driver has been dumped > and megaraid2 has been renamed megaraid again... > So, I think that the installer should be smart enough to use "megaraid2" > or "megaraid" depending on the release of the kernel instaling. Unfortunately, this isn't going to happen right away due to limitations with discover1. See #229437 for an explanation. > Last thing: after installing sarge on my server with both raid disks > (megaraid) and one ide disk, the system booted and worked well from the > raid disk but the ide controller was not detected (piix). > I had to put extra modules in /etc/modules to make it work, but in this > way /etc/init.d/hdparm does not work because it starts _before_ loading > modules from /etc/modules. Discover didn't detect your ide controller either? Ok, you know the drill :-) lspci; lspci -n; and the right module and I'll fix this too. As for the hdparm issue, I really don't know what to tell you. You may simply want to compile a custom kernel with the module built in. > Thanks for your time, and please tell me if I could be of any help, My pleasure.
