Installing Fedora Core 5 Adaptec 29320A with HostRAID



Hello.

I am trying to re-install a machine that previously had RHL9 with
Fedora Core 5. It has an Adaptec 29320A SCSI card with twin Seagate
73GB drives.

These are built as a mirrored RAID pair via the Adapter manager. And
they works together as a single device in RHL9.

However, all attempts to get this behaviour replicated in Fedora has
failed. It keeps seeing them as seperate disks (sda and sdb), even at
the pre-disk config stage where it asks WHICH RHL9 installation i want
to upgrade - sda or sdb!

Does anyone know how can I fix this behaviour? The Adapter site
doesn't have any drivers for Fedora even though they have a couple of
*minimally tested* images for RHEL and RHL9.

Please help.

Charles
