Kurth, I'm not sure the Adaptec AAA-133U2 is supported. There are a bunch of adaptec RAID drivers in the 2.4 kernel. You'll need to create/find your own boot disks if you want to use Debian - potato definitely won't find it. The 2.4 kernels in woody/sid might be able to see it but you'll need kernels with the driver compiled in (not as a module). All of the Adaptec drivers in the kernel are in the kernel/drivers/scsi section and are prefixed with aha or aic. However, looking ta Adaptec's FAQ at <http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/product/markeditorial.html?prodkey=linux_faqs1&type=Common&cat=%2fCommon%2fLinux> it says that the AAA cards are not supported. Another link that implies support for the AAA cards is not there yet: http://www.cm.nu/~shane/lists/comp.periphs.scsi/2001-09/0477.html You might want to try software RAID or another RAID controller. g
