Hi Bill, This PC, a RAID-0 box for test use, has a motherboard which only supports ATA-33 hard drive. I have no ATA-33 hard drive and only have ATA-133 hard drive available for test. The problem is with the ATA-133 RAID controller installed on booting the PC the BIOS detects it. I have searched

USE is just one of many variables in make.conf. The one I was referring to is CFLAGS. Also check the CHOST flag is correct. Is there a reason why you are trying to use the raid function on this card - my understanding its purely a remapping under the control of a driver in windows and in linux,

Hi Collins, Thanks for your response. I am testing Gentoo 1.4 on a Intel P-II PC, running software RAID-0. Because Gentoo 1.4 could not detect the RAID controller, I continued the installation on the drive connected to bus0 I extracted Stage2 tarballs. Whether I need to extract Stage1 tarballs

Hi Bill, Thanks for your response. Kindly advise whether you meant kernel-2.4.22 supports ATA RAID? But I have to install Gentoo 1.4 first before I can upgrade the kernel. Even after upgrading the kernel the OS still resides on drive-1, similar to Egg and Chicken question. B.R. Stephen On F

There's a driver for the 680 in 2.4.22-gss (one setting for udma, and one for the ideraid) that I am using in IDE mode. Much better than the 2.4.20 gentoo-sources for this card. Only prob is the card only has a cdrom on it, and I dont have a /dev/hda, but there is a /proc/ide/hda ... BillK On
