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