We'll I tried to install Suse 9 on my 8890 using Promises RAID driver. It was an odd install. It froze a couple times on it's first boot after CD-1, but resetting the laptop got it continuing with the other 4 CD's and the install. After...

Steve, I am running a raid 0 array of 2 60gb 5400rpm drives. Not only is it faster, but you lose no space at all going raid 0. One poster claimed that he couldn't capture properly because the raid controllers were sharing an irq that his...

I need to bump this to the top again. How can I get Suse to see my windows installation - which is set up on dual 60gb drives on a raid 0 array....ntfs file system. I installed on my kids computer and it went flawlessly. But during the...

yazdzik, I don't think you quite understand my problem. I have already resized the raid array. Suse 9 sees the array, and the free space to install itself on. But it doesn't see windows itself. It sees the windows partition...the...

James, it sees the raid array and the drives fine, but it doesn't see windows is already there. I want to dual boot, but it's only giving me linux under the boot options...so I haven't prodeeded with the install, and aborted instead.

I can't get Suse 9 to install on my 8890. At least I'm afraid to proceed with installation, because during the initial setup stage...when I get to the compile the install...lilo doesn't show windows as a boot option. My drives are raided...

Man, I can't get lilo to give me the option to boot windows. I'll try setting up grub instead, but it looks like I can't install suse at this rate.

Thanks Jeff. I did try to resize with the Suse Partition tools, but it would just hang. And, believe it or not, I tried Partition Magic v8 inside of windows. It worked fine that way on my old dell, but that was fat32 and not NTFS. So I...

The subject line says it all. I made my 2-60gb drives into one giant 120gb raid stripe 0 drive. Now I want to create a partition for Suse Linux v9 Pro. Suse can't create a partition out of the free space. Partition magic doesn't work...

gizmo My 8890 came with no OS installed, nor were the raid controllers enabled. My two sixty gb drives were auto detected every boot, and the bios was grayed out on just the primary ide controller. I did three WinXP installs that first...
