[tlug] Hardware RAID on RH9

[Keith Wilkinson <nzkiwi@example.com>]

Hope you'll excuse the newbie question:

I have a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 M/B with hardware IDE RAID
and SATA;  The IDE RAID appears as Drive 2 and the SATA as
Drive 1.  Windows 2000 boots directly off the IDE RAID whether
the SATA drive is connected or not, but it appears that LINUX
won't (the RAID driver for LINUX has to be loaded for the drives
to be visible to LINUX, anyway, and presumably it's not added to
the RH9 boot floppy).  I vaguely remember a "swap drive numbers"
option, intended for SCSI setups (which the RAID emulates), in the
RH setup...  but -- before I try anything else -- I want to buy a net-
work card that is recognized by RH without a kernel recompile :-(
Also BootMagic seems to be unable to multi-boot the configuration,
whether it's installed on the SATA or RAID. Presumably another
option would be to make a boot CD.  Anyone have any suggestions?
