"Doesn't work" is not adequate describtion, but just a state.

Might come from building without module versions.

How to build a driver disk, which you need at install time, is described here: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/mailing-list/2001-06/439.html You need a proper working module first. > > I decided to use the controller just for plugging the harddrives to it > > and then use software raid function of Linux.
