Hello all,
sorry if this is a bit OT, but since you are all here, as it were:
I plan to add a new 30G UDMA100 hard disk to my current PII system, not
least so I can install a ~lot~ more Linux stuff (Quasimodo!). As my
vintage 2-year-old motherboard only supports UDMA33, and there is a
question whether the new drive will even work at all under Win2k (well,
I need that too, OK!) I need to get a controller card. Are there any
known problems with Linux recognising and using such disks using a
controller in this way? I plan to upgrade Linux itself as part of the
general revamp, probably to Mandrake 7.2 as I have it here ready to load
(I am currently on RH6). Is there for example a lowest viable kernel
version I need to have? Or will it be a simple plugin, connect,
partition, install Linux and carry-on as usual experience?
Thanks in advance for all advice,
Richard Dobson
