I am down on my last leg here. I have been working at this for about two
weeks now and I am at a stand still. So any help or direction would be
much appreciated. Here is what I have so far.
I have been trying to create a Kernel Loadable Module to test out Linux
support for hardware raid. Since I already have an IDE Raid controller
built in, and I haven't touched it since converting from the dreaded
W*nblows about a year ago.
OS: Mandrake 9.0
Hardware: Mobo: A-BIT KT7A-RAID with an HPT370 raid chipset.
Drives: 4 2.5G drives in RAID Zero configed hardware side
I downloaded the latest driver pack from Highpint-tech @
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/370drivers_down.htm
I was able to downlaod the source for these drivers and followed the basic
"readme" file, but I am still lost on trying to get it to start on boot.
Another problem I have run into is that when I do load the driver(insmod
./hpt37x2.0) it duplicates the drives already found by the basic ide
driver.
example. /dev/hde /dev/hdf /dev/hdg /dev/hdh with /dev/sc0 /dev/sc1
/dev/sc2 /dev/sc3 (I believe, since I can't get it to compile right
anymore even with clearing workarea and backtracking all the changes I
have made to /etc/modules.*)
besides http://rtfm.mit.edu,,, is there another manual/website that might
be of help?
Thanks to all that will help,
Brian Metzler
