DPT stuff works great if you
A: setup and initialize the drivers via DOS
B: Drop to F4 and build a kernel with DPT support as it does not have it in thei
r yet.
One HUGE problem I have found is that I can't make world when using RAID 5. I s
ent in a message about that with no response. Same card same everying, redone wi
th 2 drives mirrored works great.
Also I had a card barf today doing a make world -j3 on a 400 MHZ pent II system
. It bailed and rebooted the system. Without the j3 it seems to be OK.
I plan on using Lots of these cards. So any&all insight/info would be welcome.
