Fasttrak tx2000 RAID 1 fedora kernel install

[David G Denning Jr]

So in other words there is no (fedora install) boot command to force
load the driver I want to enable tx2000 control of the RAID 1?

You have to modify fasttrak source code and setup right kernel-source
include dirs.

Yeah the source drivers are on Promise’s site.

I’ve been able to compile some on kernels on kernel.org but never on a
Redhat compiled kernel. Most likely cause the Redhat kernel already
supports it but it never sets up the Fasttrak tx2000 as the controller
of the raid.

This problem I've never fixed. Solved with buy new drive and install
linux there. But kernel have a support for fasttrak, but I don't know
how it works.
Do you already have FT source drivers?

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.

 

Thanks,
