I recently installed FC2 on a new system containing the following hardware: Intel Pentium4 Supermicro P4SCi mainboard 3ware S9500-8 raid controller 4x WD sata drives 250GB connected to raid controller 1x WD sata drive connected to maind board (boot disk) I'm a Linux dummie and can't get my raid controllor installed. Is there anybody who wants to help me ? The installation guide of the 3ware controller sais there is a driver for linux red hat 9.0 --> can I use that driver or do I have to recompile the driver for FC2 ? The installation guide also says I have to 1) copy the file 3w-9xxx.o from the driver cd or 3ware website to /lib/modules/<put kernel string here>/kernel/drivers/scsc/3w-9xxx.o --> that worked 2) add following line to /etc/modules.conf alias scsi_hostadapter 3w-9xxx --> there is no such file on my system, maybe I should change modprobe.conf which contains following lines ? alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix alias scsi_hostadapter1 3w-xxxx 3) run mkintrd or modprobe to load the driver Which method is the best in my case ? I already tried /sbin/mkinitrd -v -f /boot/intrd-<kernel string>.img <kernel string> --> it seems it didn't work I did not try the alternative yet: modprobe 3w-9xxx TIA, Erwin
