Up to now i had a sil3112 in redhat 9 because there is a module that make the raid system works. But being very slow, and giving problems.

I have installed FC3 on a Promise TX2000 3 disk raid 0 using DMRaid. I used the info/patches provided by Mark Wormgoor, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-October/msg00728.html">https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-October/msg00728.html</a>, which added DMRaid support to Anaconda (although I had to further patch Mark's code). This required rebuilding the stage2.img from the FC3 install which I then installed on the target machine over a HTTP connection rather than from CD (couldn't be bothered rebuilding the CD's). I also had to install grub from FC-development as Grub in FC3 wouldn't work with my DMRaid array. You may be as well waiting for FC4 which I'm hoping will have native DMRaid support. Perhaps Heinz could clarify the state of DMRaid in FC4 as FC4test2 certainly didn't have native support (though I haven't tried the newly released test3 revision)? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Anaconda support fro dmraid is being worked on.

But i taken out the SIL3112A controller and the 2 SATA disks. So i'll be trying those patchs soon. I've tried some anaconda patches before, but anaconda started to giving errors in the setup, and i didn't managed to get to the install part. Nando </body> </html>
