Slackware 9.1 & Raid
Thu, 2003-10-02 07:39 — Anonymous
Hey,
I have an Asus P4C800 E Deluxe mobo which has onboard sata/ide raid controller. PDC20378 is the exact promise controller number. Main problem is: I can get the raid up and going now, but I want to run fully off my sata raid, thus I need the module loaded at startup. According to a few people in the #slackware irc channel this isn't possible if my / is on the raid. I can't understand this because red hat is able to work off it fully. Anyone give me any pointers on how to get this going?

you can do this using an init
you can do this using an initrd. (initial ram disk).. you may need to google for it..
This is how RH does it..
Just a Thought
Why don't compile the driver into your kernel instead of compiling it as a module?? Unless of course its 3rd party like the nvidia one
That way it is always loaded on boot...
