Can't install Mandrake on my RAIDed 74 GB Raptors using Intel ICH5R
RAID controller (RAID0), Mandrake states it's corrupted.

¡ ¡ HELP ! ! … ¿ ¿ ANYONE? ?

- Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
- 2 * 74GB Raptors (RAID 0) using Intel ICH5R RAID controller

Mandrake 10 + Edition Workstation states that my partition is
corrupted. It views the drive as 2 separate drives, instead as 1
RAID'ed entity. Shows 1st drive with some partitions (created with
PartitionTragic... woops, meant PartitionMagic 8.0.. for dual boot for
Windows XP), but it doesn't recognized the created Linux partition or
the WinXP NTFS partition.

I think it has to do with Mandrake not being able to recognize the
Intel ICH5R RAID controller. I am unable to find any drivers for this
controller for this motherboard using Linux, only Windowz drivers.
Finding a driver, I believe, is the solution. :-P

Closest thing to a Linux drive I found was 'Adaptec* ICH5-R/S Serial
ATA RAID Drivers' at Intel's site:

I haven't tried this yet, but I think it's my next resort.

Perhaps I should've gone with the Promise RAID controller, right from
the get go. :-P
