Re: UP2000+ and IDE-RAID
I know there are IDE chipsets out there that already work on Alpha like the
ones used in the promise IDE driver however I do not know if their RAID
varients have been tested on Alpha. Either way. You will not be able to use
any such device as a boot device from SRM. Easiest way to get around this is
to have another IDE disk mounted on the onboard controller and have it act
as /. Then once you have your RAID setup, Start moving your mount points over
there like /usr, /opt, /home ...
