Hi,

in my Server is a "SIL0680 Rev E" Raid-Controller working with two
HDDs mounted.
My kernel needet
> <*> Silicon Image chipset support
to akzept this one and find the mounted HDDs properly.

The problem is the RAID-1 Mode, the controller gives back, that the
Raid ist working, but my gentoo finds the two HDDs, but not the device
for the Raid.

But if I activate the following in the Kernel:
> [*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) <*> RAID support
> < > Linear (append) mode < > RAID-0 (striping) mode <*> RAID-1
> (mirroring) mode < > RAID-4/RAID-5 mode < > RAID-6 mode <*>
> Multipath I/O support < > Faulty test module for MD < > Device
> mapper support

ls /dev gives me an "/dev/md0" back.

With /dev/md0 however I can't do anything, e.g:

> svr linux # mkfs.xfs /dev/md0 Error getting MD array info from
> /dev/md0

It seems, that /dev/md0 is a Node for a Software Raid, but i didn't
configure one. So why is ist created by udev, when no software-raid is
defined?
If /dev/md0 is a node for the hardware-raid of the controller, then
why can't I use it?

Anyone got this controller to work properly?

thx ahead...
