Thanks Nathan! You hit the nail on the head. I was using the NCR7,8xx driver. Once I changed it to the NCR8xxx, the card was detected and the drives spun up. Now, I am having problems with RAID5. I can get RAID0 to work fine, but I cannot figure out to get past a certain error message.
I get the following error when I try to #mdrun -p5 /dev/md0 md:08:01: invalid raid superblock magic (6c6c6c6c) on block 8886144 /dev/md0: invalid argument Any clues on what I am doing wrong? Let me know, and thanks for the help. Greg Green AdvantageCom Nathan E Norman wrote: > On Mon, 9 Feb 1998, Greg Green wrote: > > : Hello all: > : > : I am having problems detecting my scsi drives.
