    Sarge + ide controller issues



    Hello all!

    As a recent convert to Linux, I'm trying to get my webserver working with software RAID. I've got a HPT374-based controller (Highpoint RocketRaid 1640) which seems to be detected fine by the installer, but disappears after I've done the installation.

    I suspect that it's because of a config option somewhere: question is, where?

    I can't find a kernel config file on the install CD, so I can't diff it with the default one that gets installed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Cheers!

    Problem solved

    Turns out the kernel I was using didn't have the relevant drivers compiled into it. apt-getting the latest 2.4 kernel partially sorted the problem out: but 2 of the 4 connected drives were missing.

    So here's one for the newbies: you need to create device nodes for the additional drives, because linux will only map drives up to hdh automatically: that's 2 per IDE channel for channels 0-3.
