style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I have a Fasttrak tx2000 running RH9
which works fine. But I’d like to upgrade to fedora cleanly. I have my RAID 1
array partitioned so the OS is on different partition then my data. Problem is
Fedora doesn’t load the fasttrak RAID driver like it should. I know I could
recompile the kernel and setup that way but isn’t there a boot linux dd or boot
command that would tell it to load the fasttrak modules so that the tx2000
controls the raid not the linux software raid 1 kernel. Any help would be
great.</span></font></p>
