Date: Tue, 04 May 2004 21:16:42 +0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 04 May 2004 21:16:43.0189 (UTC) FILETIME=[193A0650:01C4321D] Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I have found a GPL'd patch for 2.4.23 http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.2/2039.html However, will this chipset ever be supported in the vanilla kernel source tree? Does anyone have a Promise 378 controller using Serial ATA RAID 1 and able to boot from it successfully? So far, google has yielded nothing but horror stories regarding getting this driver to work, some implementations use SCSI-transport to control the SATA controller, but this seems like a nightmare, is there a solution in the works? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page – FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/
