Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello, I have an IWILL KK-266R motherboard with an AMI HG80649 ATA100 IDE RAID controller that shows up as a CMD649 with lspci. I've set up a RAID1 array through the BIOS utility but Linux (2.4.[4-9]) can't seem to do anything with it ... hde and hdg are detected, but the IRQ probe fails so ide2 and ide3 are disabled. I can't access the machine right now, else I'd send some logfiles. I'm also running devfs and am a little lost, so I'm not sure if it is simply unsupported or if I'm missing something. With the motherboard comes a bootdisk that I can use to install RedHat with a 2.2 kernel, but from what I read, after I install it, I can't do anything else with the array. There are some patches, but they seem to already be integrated into 2.4.x>7 (the ide-patches no longer apply & I get a lot of reversed patch messages). 2.4.9 only seems to have 'generic' CMD649 support, no raid, and I can't find an entry in /proc or /dev relating to raid support. Am I doing something wrong, or am I screwed with 80GB inaccessible disk space? Thanks in advance, Christopher
