I'm trying to set up a server to replace the system currently hosting my mirror of linux-sxs.org and have run into a problem that currently has me stumped. Here's a list of the hardware invloved:
Case - Chieftech 26" full tower MoBo - Shuttle AK35GT2R w/ onboard HighPoint 370/372 RAID controler CPU - Athlon XP 1800+ RAM - 2 GB Samsung DDR PC2700 (4 x 512MB) HDD - 4 x Maxtor 40GB ATA 133 (Liquid) CDROM- LG 52x Floppy - Panasonic 1.44 MB Video - Nvidia TNT2 M64 32MB VRAM NIC - D-Link DFE-538TX/R 10/100 I can create a RAID 0+1 setup in the HighPoint BIOS if, and only if, I leave the drives jumpered as 'cable select'. If I try to jumper them manually it can only see the two slave drives - incorrectly identified as having 70+ GB capacity. Slackware has a bootdisk with the correct drivers for the HighPoint chipset which boots up fine and then asks for the 'root disk' (which is actually a set of 5 floppies labeled install.1, install.2 etc.), then I get to select the keyboard and login as root but after that, all I get is screenfulls of scrolling hexidecimal (?) numbers. Anybody seen this or have any suggestions? I'm all ears...
