none of those onboard raid stuff works ... http://www.linux-ide.org/chipsets.html true test is... - install your root-raid setup.... - reboot make sure it normally all works .. than test "raid0/1" - power down and disconnect hda - power up and if hw raid isn't working, its dead... - do the same with the other disk if its "truely" hardware raid0/1... disconnecting a drive should still boot the system in degraded raid mode c ya alvin http://www.1U-Raid5.net ...
