I also have a gigabyte ga7n400 pro mother board with on board sata and ide raid. The gigabyte web site has drivers for mdk 9 and rh 8 - 9 for the ide raid but no sata raid drivers. so i presume mandrake have updated ide raid drivers or the driver for mdk 9 works.
I don't think the driver for mdk 9 and rh 8-9 will work on mdk 10.1. The promise ide raid that I have has only drivers for mdk 9. I have tried it on mdk 9.2, but not good. It is so since the binary driver module is compiled only for mdk 9 kernel.
Thought I would try MandrakeMove on it first.Fingers crossed.
This should be good. If gigabyte has the whole source code of the driver, not the source code for the hooking (or whachamacallit) program which is just used for linking the binary driver module and the kernel, then I believe mdk 10.1 has it.
