Re: Fwd: Promise SATA Module ?

Final update on this... everything seems to work now. I'm still concerned over why it didn't get detected thou automatically and add the line to the /etc/modules.conf automatically. If that issue can be resolved, then it looks like things are good for this controller card (other than the oddness of it working as a SCSI device, but it works).

Thank,
Steve

There were some other posts on the list yesterday about SATA boards working with the 2.4.22-1.2135.nptl kernel.

That doesn't let you install to a promise root disk.  If you are
already installed and just want to add disks, then yeah, you can
use the new kernel with no problem.

I take it my Promise controller is not included with that patched kernel? Anything particular not working with that kernel to keep it in test?

That kernel should support your controller, which is in the FastTrak
S150 TX2plus family.  We'd certainly want to know if it doesn't.
