Other Help Topics :: Raid!!!

When firing up DSL on my recently acquired notebook (Compaq Armada 1750) I get the following at bootup:

probing ide-softraid... pdcraid.o
probing ide-softraid... silraid.o

WTF does this mean, what's it doing, and how do I stop it? It wastes about a minute of bootup time probing for non-existant raid. Tried booting with (a made up) noraid option, didn't work (of course). Any ideas?

Thanks,
Del

Does the

noideraid

cheatcode work?

Nice to know the raid drivers are working though~

I have since learned that the hdd was toast. Removing it from the machine cured the raid probing

Now just using DSL on a 256Mb usb stick.
