hello all,
did some searching and found myself fairly confused as to how to install fc3 using a raid0 via my built in it8212 controller on my ga-k8n pro motherboard for an amd64. i was able to get the raid utililty in bios to setup the raid 0, but when installing fc3 it "did not recognize any hard disks"...however in the opening probe it did seem to find them.

it has only redhat 9 drivers on their site, and i'd like to not to have to compile drivers and all that. does anyone know of a place where i can download the drivers to put on a floppy to add the devices for the install?

is there anything else i'm missing that might make this a little less painful? i'm told newer versions of the kernel support this - but not too experienced on how to roll my own.

many thanks,
jonathan

i noticed that there is newer version of the kernel in the updates folder for the distro that i believe contain compatibility for the it8212.

during a new install of fc3 with the origional .iso (x86_64) and a new cd with the new kernel-x-x86_64.rpm, is there options i can specify to install with the new kernel?
