A really great and complete HOWTO by Chris Atwood on 'How to do a gentoo |
| 5 |
install on a software RAID' |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
You can use this HOWTO to do a gentoo install on normal IDE disks, SATA, |
| 9 |
SCSI etc. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Except when you're using SATA you 'll have to pay attention to the |
| 12 |
change of the disc devices when you reboot your system for the first time. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
When you boot of the livecd, the SATA discs will be recognized as |
| 15 |
/dev/hdxx, but once you've compiled your kernel with SATA support, the |
| 16 |
devices will be recognized as /dev/sdxx. So don't forget to change your |
| 17 |
/dev/hdxx entries in the /etc/raidtab file to /dev/sdxx before you reboot. |
| 18 |

Hope this helps. |
