Hi,

I'm trying to install an old fujitsu siemens econel 50 server. It uses an Intel chipset with ICH6R sata subsystem known as fakeraid.

I have configured a Raid 1 with two 160GB hds.

FS and Intel both provide a driver called megaide on a driver disk to use fakeraid and here is the problem:

- The readme tells me to install with the "nostorage" kernel option and I can load the megaide driver with the driver disk.

- in anaconda I only see one disk sda - exactly what I want.

- after installation when booting the 92.el5 kernel obviously the ahci driver is used not the megaide, LVM complains about identical PVs on sda and sdb and I can unload megaide while running the server

- so megaide is not used upon reboot but ahci

- megaide is inside the initrd but - probably because ahci loads first - not used

Question: How can I prevent the ahci driver to load after installation?

Thx Rainer

PS: I know the pros and cons of fakeraid - I want to use it. Plz no discussion about this.
