Having missed the first email of this thread, (so i dont
know whats going on) I have a working adaptec 2100s raid
(on a dual p3 800). Needless to say install was boot strapped
on but now the drivers are in place everything is fine.
Anyway yeah, so i may be able to help.
But as far as RAID setup went, the disks (ibm) went in the
rack, i grouped them in pairs, mirrored them, and they are
working perfectly...
