1 Hello List,
2
3 I'm trying to set up an server with a RAID 5 but its not recognized by
4 the system.
5 Mainboard: Asus P5B Deluxe
6 CPU: Core2Duo 6600 2,40 GHz
7 Storage: 3x 320GB Hitachi SATA2
8
9 I've setup the RAID 5 withe the onboard Intel Matrix Storage Controller
10 I've tried about 5 different livecd's but none of them recognized the
11 RAID5, I always have /dev/sda sdb sdc with each 320GB but no RAID.
12 After several tryouts I managed to install gentoo to an new attached
13 IDE drive and built my own kernel (2.6.19-r5 gentoo sources) because I
14 thought maybe the kernels from the livecds are to old but I still have
15 the problem that the RAID isnt recognized.
16 for now I think the problem is the Intel Matrix Storage controller.
17 Did someone managed to get the RAID recognized with this controller?
18 Do I have to use an newer kernel version?
