I would like to install RedHat 7.2 on my desktop computer, preferably as a dual boot. I am running my Kt7a motherboard in RAID 0 with the highpoint controller and am wondering if need to do anything special or if I can even get Redhat to run on my system. Thanks for your help

I guess there were problems with that raid controller a while back but they are fixed now.

Generally the hardware things I worry about on Linux is USB, sound and video. Also winmodems don't work...

Doesn't Look Good does it? However, is this no Good? It seems to be for RedHat

Redhat Driver (http://www.highpoint-tech.com/370drivers.htm)


I just found it!!!

Yes, redhat. Is that not a RedHat- Highpoint driver on the top of the Link? or am I seeing things?

Only Problem with that driver, it only supports the older kernel...... Guess it wont work with 7.2 :(

Isn't Raid now supported in the 2.4 kernels? Mine is not set though I do remember there are quite a few options that can be setup for Raid.

Also under IDE chipset you will find the Highpoint controller support I believe.

You should check the default .config file for the kernel that's included with Redhat 7.2 to see if there is already support for Raid or if you will need to recompile the kernel.

The .config or defconfig should be in /usr/src/linux-<kernel version>/arch/i386
