Good afternoon list. I am trying now for 8 days to make nvidia RAID works on gentoo systems; I pass trhought all stages, I had difficult make live cd works, then after it works I have to use the hard way to make grub install.... after all that I thought it was every thing cool and I would be allowed to run my gentoo, I was wrong.
I had tried genkernel and Hard way ( a script to genrate initrd ) on kernel 2.6.16 and none of then work, always complaining that real_root wasn´t there and I could run a shell and really there was just /dev/mapper/control no raid device. So some wise guys said to me, there is a bug on 2.6.16 that doesn´t work with RAID 0, so I emerged 2.6.15-r1 and tried again both ways, genkernel and the other ...... again none of them work, with a addin, my kernel panics at boot ! so were should I go now, just use windows .... because infortunilly every single hardware fabricant just think of windows users...... I can not erase my windows, and RAID on windows gives a real boost. So what is left to me is keep trying make the louse nvidia fake raid work on linux ...... I pray for a wise guy that had done this before !!!! HELP ME !!!!! I think I had tried everything I know and some things that I didn´t know either !!!! sorry for the large mail and the terrible english ..... but, could anyone help ..... thanks ..... Allan PS.
