Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm a big newbie and all that. Just trying to install 1.4 on an old SMP |
| 4 |
Compaq Proliant 1600 (dual Pentium II 450, 36GB RAID 1 w/SmartArray 221 |
| 5 |
controller). |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Apparently the SmartArray controller isn't detected upon boot; just the |
| 8 |
IDE controller for the CDROM and the NCR scsi controller for the tape |
| 9 |
drive. I hear that cpqarray drivers are built-in to all 2.4 kernels |
| 10 |
(Red Hat detects this, FWIW, and the array is referred to as |
| 11 |
/dev/ida/c0d0). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The install manual just mentions the possibility of using modprobe for |
| 14 |
undetected devices, but I've tried modprobe cpqarray and then with fdisk |
| 15 |
/dev/ida/c0d0 the error message is "Unable to open /dev/ida/c0d0". |
| 16 |
Could someone please enlighten me? Hopefully down the road I will |
| 17 |
replace Red Hat 9 on all of our servers with Gentoo once I test it out |
| 18 |
on this warhorse. |
