[plug] Hardware question

[hooker at iinet.net.au]

Hi,

Recently I bought an Adaptec 2410sa (SATA RAID controller) for a brand new
machine that I'm building. The card is supported by RedHat 9 according to the
docs, but I just can't get the damned thing working.

I've built the RAID-5 array, the motherboard BIOS finds the card OK, and the
card reports that it really does have a RAID array waiting. When I use the
driver floppy that I've created from the Adaptec CD the RedHat installer finds
the device (/dev/sda1), but once installation is complete and I reboot the
machine I get "unsatisfied external reference" messages from the module and the
kernel can't find the device.

Has anyone else tried this particular Adaptec card? I really want the machine to
work, and steadfastly refuse to load Windoze, but this is getting beyond a joke.

Anyone able to help?

Please !
