Using centos 4.2. Trying to install pci sata raid card, Pacific Digital QM-4300R10. Raid card box reads that it supports linux. raid software has rhel 4.0 dd image. I write to floppy and use linux dd to "try" install drivers on my centos 4.2. I see the card in the list that centos gives me after loading the drivers, but when I try to use them, it doesn't do anything. Nothing works. I've read that rhel 4.0 drivers will not work on centos 4.2. What I do? Is it my sata drives or the pci raid card or both? What is recommended? Should one use regular sata drives and use them on the motherboard and use linux software raid? What do others use? and how? Should one contact Pacific Digital for correct drivers? Do i need to compile centos drivers from the rhel 4.0 drivers? Are there any pci sata raid controllers that work right out of the box on centos 4.2?
