I want to set up a system with 4 15GB disks in RAID 5 (software raid).
The software raid howto says that it's not a good idea to put 2 disks on
the same IDE-bus. That's why i need to use 2 controllers.

Yes, although why not just use SCSI if you care about performance andQuote:> Is it possible to use 2 Promise Ultra66 controllers in one system?

1. Request for help: Booting from Promise Ultra66 controller
I'd like to use a Promise Ultra66 controller as a direct replacement
for my onboard IDE. Has anyone found an easy way to do this?
I have one disk with the partitions (in the original setup):
/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/hda5 (swap)
/dev/hda6 /
Currently I'm using kernel 2.2.16 with the Hendrick's patch.
I tried the following:
1. Compile the kernel with "Boot off-board chipsets first support".
Didn't do anything! It still looked for /dev/hda (onboard controller).
2. Add the lines:
disk=/dev/hde
bios=0x80
to lilo.conf. This is supposed to treat /dev/hde as if it were /dev/hda.
This didn't work either! It booted, but got a kernel panic trying to
find the root filesystem.
Thanks for any help,
Richard
