Arjan and others, I have added support for the PDC 20276 used on Gigabyte GA-8IHXP (and possibly other motherboards) to the ATARAID feature of the linux 2.4.18 kernel. I have tested that the pdcraid.c code works with this device. I suspect you can drive this patch into the mainline kernel, but if you know of a better person, please advise. Thanks! -steve

What's wrong with the PDC 20276 support in the 2.4.19preX and rc kernels? Best regards, Mads Bach

hi ya steve how was the system tested ??? -- my simple raid-compatibility test is: ( assuming raid1 or raid5 setup on ide disks ) - pull out /dev/hda - see if it boots - pull out /dev/hdc ( the other boot disk ) - see if it boots - plug a virgin ( unformatted/unpartitioned disk ) into either /dev/hda or /dev/hdc - see if it boots and resyncs itself if the system doesnt boot or doesnt resync ( all by itself ) than i'd see its a problem and need more fixing... and tweeking - i disable all onboard ( motherboard/firmware based raid ) have fun alvin the pdc 202xx series chips are great for sw raid5... ( inexpensive, functional and works in the promise/maxtor pci cards ) On Fri, 26 Jul 2002, Steven Dake wrote:
