dmraid is not supported yet. Use a hardware raid controller, or stick to linux software raid. Proprietary software raid doesn't work yet (maybe when dmraid is ever stable, should that ever happen). Last install I did, did not support 20378 card, but the netinst image I made with 2.6.12 on it did work fine when I tested it on the 20378 a few days ago. I never did check if 2.6.8 supports the 20378 or not. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
