Re: [TCLUG:14673] Compaq SMART array

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

if you look closely, the developer for the smart array controler has added
smart controler functionality, but you have to provide the kernel with the
necessary I/O information to use the controler, read the files in the
Documentation directory of the linux kernel for what you need to provide.

Thank You,

This is an EISA machine with a Pentium 150 and 64M RAM.  Researched enough to know that Compaq doesn't intend to develop a linux driver for that array controller. Caldera Linux 2.3 doesn't recognize the controller, nor does RedHat 6.1 (just the SMART-2). The TCLUG archives had a reference to SMART-2, but not the SMART. Did find http://www.insync.net/~frantzc/cpqarray.html however this seems to be the SMART-2 driver again. In my current state of Linux newbie/wannabe, I may be overlooking a step here. Any help appreciated.
