hi, I've got a soyo k7v dragon raid plus mobo here, and "raid" stands for this useless promise "raid"-controller.
*Without* raid features enabled, the controller works very fast and reliable for ATA133. But it's raid feature is definetively not worth playing around with it (I spent too many hours with it) unless you do really have to (e.g. you have already set up windoze to acess drives using the "raid"-controller). excerpt from the kernel documentation on controllers like the PDC one: ----CUT---- Say Y or M if you have an IDE Raid controller and want linux to use its softwareraid feature. You must also select an appropriate for your board low-level driver below. Note, that Linux does not use the Raid implemetation in BIOS, and the main purpose for this feature is to retain compatibility and data integrity with other OS-es, using the same disk array. Linux has its own Raid drivers, which you should use if you need better performance. ----CUT---- udo On Sam, 2002-04-13 at 02:03, Doug Gough wrote: > On the older promise cards, you had to pass some parameters to the kernel at > boot time.
