Knoppix 3.7 and Highpoint 1542 Raid Controller
Hi
I am having problems to convince Knoppix 3.7 to detect an existing SATA Raid 1 System.
The mainboard is a GA-8IPXDR E7500. 2 IDE drives: hda is ok, hdb belongs to /dev/ataraid/d0
2 SCSI DVD Drives.
The 2 SATA Drives are connected to the controller and are shown as /dev/hde and /dev/hdi, but
afair its kinda forbidden to directly access /dev/hde for writing.
How can I access this RAID 1 (normally /dev/sda)?
Which module/driver does Knoppix use for the Highpoint raidcontroller?
What I have seen the module hpt374 isnt in /lib/modules/....
(Does it make sense to compile the highpoint opensource drivers somehow
into knoppix - if possible?)
Any hint or tip would be really great
greetings

Tnx for all the replies...
Anyways, I put the Controller & Harddisks in a slack 10 box, and compiled there the opensource driver from highpoint (after editing 2 lines in a .h-file) with a
2.6.10 Kernel as a Module.
bootparams are: acpi=off hde=noprobe hdf=noprobe hdg=noprobe hdh=noprobe hdi=noprobe
(as stated somewhere in the highpoint docs)
then:
modprobe scsi_mod (not necessary if compiled into kernel)
modprobe sd_mod (dito)
modprobe hpt374 (the compiled module from above)
et voila, /dev/sda is created
if someone could explain how to compile a module in knoppix26 (i couldnt find the /usr/src/linux-2.6.9 tree) one can compile the sources, put the module on a floppy and boot knoppix in expert mode.
my 2 cents
regards
