HighPoint Tech 370/372 RAID as boot device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi List -

On an older (RedHat 9 based) system, I had an initrd built with the HighPoint Tech 370/372 driver module to allow for booting off of a RAID 1 mirror on a RocketRAID 100 controller. I was hoping that I could get away from having to custom build the module and custom configure the boot process on new builds (now Fedora Core 3), but I haven't found a way to instruct the standard kernel and standard driver for the 370/372 chipset to treat a RAID 1 mirror on the 370/372 controller as a single device - the boot process always identifies it as two separate devices.

Is there a magic incantation to the standard Fedora FC3 kernel configuration at boot time to tell it to listen to the configuration on the controller card and treat the mirror as a single drive? Or am I stuck with building custom initrds with funky configurations (which have to be rebuilt and tested with every kernel upgrade)?

Thanks
