[WBEL-users] Experience with IDE Raid-Controller

[Graham Waring]

G'day all,

I have had success with a highpoint hpt370 on-board raid controller and I 
installed RH 7.1 a couple of years ago thanks to this document:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/2/2001/12/4/10708
Heads up though, it is somewhat involved.  The guy that wrote the doco has 
done a great job.  Hope it helps.
Graham
