Re: [PLUG] Update strategy: RH6.2->RH7.1

[epike@isinet.com]

Hi

I have a Promise Ultra/66 on RH 6.2 but I had to patch the
kernel for it to recognize the card.  My setup is, there
are at least 2 physical disks--one to get linux to boot
and another on the Promise controller where some more of 
the filesystem is located.  

Haven't tried it with just
the promise controller as the primary controller though;
that sounds risky since you have to load the kernel first
before it recognizes the controller (at least on 6.2).

my setup is like (hda=controller on motherboard,
hde=on promise ultra):

/dev/hda2              2522076   2071864    322096  87% /
/dev/hda1                31079      4504     24971  15% /boot
