ABIT Hot Rod 100 IDE RAID adapter and Linux?

Post by David Sis » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00



Anyone familiar with this ABIT product or any other ABIT product?  Their
site (www.abit-usa.com) states that this device is supported by Linux, but
the manual doesn't mention Linux, only Win9x and NT.  Anyone using one of
these in a Linux box?  I've heard that ABIT makes quite good stuff, and this
board supports RAID0, RAID1, and RAID10 with up to 4 IDE drives, and is less
than $40, so it's very attractive.  Please post or email!

Regards,
Dave

Hello. I have the exact same request ; I'm searching for a RH 6.2 driver
for my KT7R. I'll let you know here and by e-mail if I ever find something.

Anyway, if you succeeded in configuring four disks in RAID 0+1, I'm
interested. Please mail.

Vincent

I use Abit BE6. 2 normal IDE connectors plus 2 UDMA-66 connectors.  All
work fine in linux, though to use the UDMA-66 features you need UDMA66
support in the kernel -- either a late 2.3x/2.4x or a patched 2.2x kernel.

I'm not sure which motherboard you are talking about. A motherboard which
supports a raid costs much more than $40.
Also, the motherboard does not support any raid in the linux system.

You are right. The mannual says so. But, I haven't heard GENTUS linux and
failed to visit GENTUS web site.
So, I believe the abit motherboard does not support any raid within a
linux system.

As far as I know, KT7R support only an unraided linux system whose kernel
is 2.2.16 or higher (find out at www.highpoint-tech.com) I'm afraid RH 6.2
has a kernel whose version is lower. Also, you need to upgrade HPT370 ide
controller BIOS to 1.0.3 and to patch an ide.2.2.16.20000630.patch file.

1. ABIT Hot Rod 100 RAID controller problem

I would like to install Red Hat 6.2 (CD distribution) to one disk connected
to Hot Rod 100, implies I don't want to use RAID (in my opinion RAID is not
implemented in high point 370 chip but in windows drivers). I am  able to
install nothing due to the fact the install program after boot from CD
cannot find the disk connected to Hot Rod. I am not experienced Linux user
but I suppose I should load some  Linux Hot Rod driver from the diskette
(similar like in NT or W2k installation) and I would like to find such
driver. Am I correct in my opinion? If I am correct, I will be very glad if
anybody could help me to find such driver and solve this problem.

Many thanks in advance

Petr
