I'm trying with a RedHat 6 (The server will need Debian, anyhow), and I
had more luck: it didn't require a custom kernel and had a module for the
DAC960. It seems to hang, however, when formatting the drives, when a
disk is reported dead.

The crafty configuration is precisely what I would like to learn about,
if anyone could point me in the right direction.
With thanks,

Hello!
I'm trying to install Debian slink on a double pentium 2 server with a
Mylex DAC960 RAID controller with 3 IBM UW2 9Gb disks.
After compiling a custom kernel for the boot floppy and making it boot and
see the DAC960, I found that the Debian installation hangs: it gets stuck
asking me

I can't see why syslinux reports having less than 608Kb of base memory.
Well, I *can* see why, since the base memory

Fine, I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Even if it starts, anyway, the problem remains:
a quick fix may be to install the distribution onto a non raid'd drive and
just copy it over once the raid is setup. this is how i setup my
(software) based raid servers.. installed to 1 partition, made the rest of
the partitions mirrored, and just cp -a'd the files over after i made the
raid

Has anyone done any performance comparisons between the DPT SmartRaid IV
and Mylex DAC960PL scsi raid controllers ? I know the DPT drivers have
been around for a long time, and the IV supports up to 64meg of cache, but
I highly respect Leonards coding prowess, even though the DAC960PL only
11 matches
