Re: [TCLUG:14673] Compaq SMART array

[Bradley Wendelboe <krakken@mn.mediaone.net>]

Setting up the Smart EISA etc. is not trival.  I've got a 1000 that took
a long weekend on frutration to build (then the power supply would
shutdown after a few hours).  I've got some lilo strings and a costom
kernel that I used to install/run the server.  If I can get the beast to
boot I'll send them to 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.
