Need some advise/help with trying to get RH to see my sata sil 3112 disks? I have managed to get it installed on a separate IDE disk and it shows the kernel as Redhat linux Ent AS 2.4.21.4 EL and then after getting the updates it shows the kernel as 2.4.21.20 EL. During the updates if even picked up the sata hardware and added a driver but its NOT installed: /usr/src/linux/2.4.21.20 EL/drivers/scsi/sata /lib/modules/2.4.21.20 EL/kernel/drivers/sata But I dunno what to do with em? Is there anyway to create a driver disk - so that I can do a fresh install using the free disk space so that I can boot windows as well as RH on my disks using the Sil 3112 Raid controller? I have read... and read... and read so many forums - that I dunno what to do anymore. Surely somebody out there was able to get Sata working on Linux using a Abit NF7 v2.0 nForce2 board? So do I need to re-compile the kernel? how do I use it to run a fresh install and by using the current <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">RHEL</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">AS</st1:State></st1:place> bootup CD? do I need to add this Medley or libata stuff? There are RH linux drivers on the Silicon Image site - but they are for RH 7, 8 and 9.0. Reading the readme's it appears to have instuctions for adding it to a already-installed-system - but not one from scratch.... - although I have loaded the .img on to disk loaded the RH 9.0 driver - but I guess its not for the right system as it still cannot see my hardware. It also mentions using a bootable GRUB disk – which I now have…. But I am still confused as to what I need to do regarding a clean fresh install for Windows & Linux If I get this working at some point - will it actually see the 2 disks as 1 large one? i.e. 1 x sda? Instead of the hde/hdg? Can anybody help, and advise what I need to do, its so damn confusing..... Any help, tips, suggestions - would be moat apprciated. I dont really wanna give up at such an early stage....<o:p></o:p> The documentation I have for the Silicon Image driver advises the following – See link to zipped file – <o:p></o:p> http://12.24.47.40/display/2/articleDirect/index.asp?aid=10469&r=0.1332361<o:p></o:p> So… am stupid to think that the RH 9.0 driver may work on <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">RHE</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">AS</st1:State></st1:place>? Is there away around this? Reading the above it looks like info for just a Linux install.. not a dual boot system for windows/linux.<o:p></o:p> If anybody can talk or help me thru this… Please do, I’d even call you on the Telephone to get assistance regardless of the cost!<o:p></o:p> Cheers for listening, Kenny.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
