FC5: Promise 20378 PATA

axelseaa · #1 6th April 2006, 06:22 AM

I have the Asus A8V Deluxe board with the onboard Promise 20378 Raid controller. I currently have a raid 1 mirror of SATA drives setup, and FC5 installed on them.

I also have a raid 1 mirror of PATA drives setup. How do i set this array up in linux as a different mount point?

I was able to install FC5 on the PATA array, and on the SATA array. (So it appears the device mapper can see both arrays) However, when both arrays were connected to the motherboard, the installer would hang. So for the sake of getting the install to work, I unplugged the PATA array during the install.

I am new to hardware raid in linux, any help is appreciated. Thanks

Here is the output of a variety of commands:
