Help needed:
Okay, I built a killer rig for which specs can be obtained upon request, it's only missing "the toaster" and a few parts are sligtly not the fastest anymore but then I have a reason. I'm trying to dual-boot Windows ME and RedHat Professional Workstation with a RAID-1 Set up on an Asus P4P800 Deluxe Motherboard using the onboard VIA VT6410 RAID Controller.
Windows works fine, a phrase you don't here often the problem... is Linux. The RAID Controller does
NOT have a Driver for "Redhat ENTERPRISE Linux WS Version 3" which is what RedHat Professional Workstation uses for its' drivers. I checked the VIA, Asus and RedHat sites. RHPW has very little support since it's basically RHEL WS Version 3 at a consumer price (Not RHL 9.0) so I need some help here.
Can anybody code a low-level device driver for me? Via's website
www.viaarena.com has drivers for other versions of Linux if you need something to build off of.
There are a few "solutions" I don't want:
1. Upgrade Windows, I want ME, only ME and nothing but ME, no Win2k and no way in hell do I want WinXP -- no, no NO! Just WinME, please don't tell me too upgrade, XP isn't what I want.
2. Buy a new MoBo/Raid Controller: No Controller cards are available for my P-ATA HDD's (No SATA) and I don't want anything that involves upgrades, please this controller is fine, the system is loaded.
So if anyone can code a device driver for me (and any other 'nix user with this set-up) I'd appreciate it, you'll be helping the entire Linux community. I don't see SgtPikachu here anymore it seems so I'm hoing another 'nix user can help me, then I can get this ting woring.
Many thanks in advance, and while I could just run 'doze that defeats the purpose of building a dual-boot machine and using 'nix, I want to use this version of 'nix as well so again, please don't ask me to change the OS just provide a driver or someone who can provide me with one, thank you!
NOTE: last I checked Linuxis open sorce and anyone can code a driver without fear of a call from the FBI, unlike Windows where peaking at the source code is a major no-no that sets off alarms in Bill Gates' office. Thanks again!
