Hi Kai, I use this RAID-0 box to test dual-boot OS, Win2K and Linux. I may encounter difficulty in this test. Win2K can see the raid controller but Gentoo can't. After first installing Win2K and coming to installing Linux the latter can't see the raid controller but 2 drives. Gentoo will be installed on the 1st drive leaving the 2nd drive empty. If no solution found I have to remove the raid driver/feature only using it as ATA133 controller because the motherboard only supports ATA33.

Where I can find en ebuild, on the CDs downloaded or from Gentoo website? Thanks B.Regards Stephen To Get Your Own iCareHK.com Email Address? Go To www.iCareHK.com. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
