Vorrei installare la Rh 7.3 sul mio sistema:
- una mb asus a7v133,
- 3 hd un fujitsu da 8 Gb + 2 hd da 30 gb(un quantun ed un ibm)
i 2 dischi da 30 gb sono configurati in raid(modalita stripe) hardware tramite il chip promise pdc20265 integrato sulla sched madre.
Su windows me il sistema funziona correttamente,
ma installando linux (R.H.7.3) non riesco far vedere il sistema raid(vedo solamente il disco da 8 gb)
ho scaricato i driver per il controller raid da questo indirizzo:
http://www.promise.com/support/linux2_eng.asp?mode=linux_download&product_id
=15
ma quando, dopo il boot, inserisco il dischetto per far leggere i driver
in una delle console vedo che lui cerca di trovare il file ft.o
con un pattern tipo 2.4.18-3*/ft.o (ovviamente non li trova restituendo
ft.o module not found o qualcosa di simile)
I driver sono per la versione 7.2 di red hat ma sono i piu' recenti che ho trovato.
invio anche il file readme incluso nei driver che ho scaricato:
FastTrak Series Linux Driver Version 1.2.0.14
Installation Note for RedHat Linux [11/06/2001]
[INTRODUCTION]
1.1 Foreword
This driver diskette should be used with all Promise FastTrak Series
adapter and onboard chipsets running under RedHat Linux operating
systems.
Do NOT use this diskette for other versions of Linux for FastTrak
support.
NOTE: For FastTrak users with Promise chips labelled PDC20262, PDC20265 or
PDC20270 (FastTrak66,FastTrak100 Lite motherboard-embedded solutions
or
FastTrak100TX2) running with Linux kernel versions 2.4.x, be aware of
additional instructions to be performed. The instructions will refer
to
you as "RHF upgraders." See Item 1.3 below for description of the
issue
which use of the driver and instructions solves.
1.2 Support List
Red Hat 6.2 SMP (kernel 2.2.14-5.0smp)
Red Hat 7.0 SMP (kernel 2.2.16-22smp)
Red Hat 7.0 Enterprise (kernel 2.2.16-22enterprise)
Red Hat 7.1 SMP (kernel 2.4.2-2smp)
Red Hat 7.1 Enterprise (kernel 2.4.2-2enterprise)
Red Hat 7.2 SMP (kernel 2.4.7-10smp)
Red Hat 7.2 Enterprise (kernel 2.4.7-10smp)
1.3 Linux kernel 2.4.x ATA issue on FastTrak Series
PDC20262/PDC20265/PDC20270
Linux Kernels 2.4.x misidentifies PDC20262/PDC20265 (FastTrak 66/
FastTrak 100 Lite motherboard-embedded solution/FastTrak100TX2) cards
and/or chips as simple IDE controllers. This results in the built-in
Linux
IDE driver trying to handle the controller and can prevent the proper
FastTrak ATA RAID driver to be loaded. Follow the installation
instructions
AND the parameter commands referred to in the Notes section.
The instructions will refer to you as "RHF upgrader."
