slackware 10.1 && abit nf7-s rev. 2 issues

[acid45]

I don't know if this will help anyone choosing a distro but here it is anyway.

I have an NF7-S rev. 2 which features an onBoard S-ATA raid 1,0,1+0 raid card. Using slackware 10's ataraid.i kernel image on my boot disk with a set of root disks worked fine detecting the S-ATA raid card. Using the same kernel image, ataraid.i, durring a slackware 10.1 instalation didn't detect my raid cards at all and there wasn't anything I could do to get to the drives on it.

Once the image was chosen and you're logged in as root the first indicator is that when it starts detecting IDE devices. It detects the cd/dvd roms I have the P-ATA drive I have on IDE0 described as /dev/hdc1 in fdisk -l. cfdisk /dev/hde or /dev/hdg, what my drives were listed as under slack10.0 didn't do anything special.

Going back to slackware 10 gave me no problems with the hard drives at all.

When I find something else on this I'll let you know.

Here's a copy of the 10.1 changelog which may or may not help you shed some light on your situation.
