Anyone played with IDE Raid and Linux or solid state hard disks?
Played with IDE raid on an Abit board using the HighPoint driver. Couldn't make it work with Linux, but I gather the Promise one does, albeit with a binary-only DeadRat driver. I don't use DeadRat, so...

The only distro that recognises HPT RAID controller is SuSE 7.1 with kernel 2.4.X. I have the EPOX matherboard with inbuilt HPT controller and works fine, both with and without RAID enabled. Mandrake 7.2 could not find the Disks, neither did REDHat 7.0.
Aparantly there's a patch at
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/
but I can't confirm it as I haven't looked. I'd like to get hardware raid working in Mandrake 8.1 coz I got 2 nice shiny new IBM 46.1Gb ATA100 drives begging for it. :-)
