[ale] Mylex Raid controller

[Matt Shade]

I've gotten another hand-me-down...a Netserver 
5/133 LS. Quite fast, despite the 133Mhz.
It has a Mylex DAC960 controller in it and two 4Gb 
drives. These are visible and useable in Win2k, but Linux just doesn't seem to 
want to see the drives. It sees the Mylex controller, from 'cat 
/proc/pci':
  Bus  1, device  15, function  
0:Â Â Â  RAID storage controller: Mylex DAC960 P Series (rev 
0).      Medium devsel.  IRQ 11.  Master 
Capable.  Latency=66.  Min Gnt=4.      
I/O at 0xf480 [0xf481].
However, I can't seem to find where or how to see 
the disks. During POST, the Mylex appears to combine them into one logical 
drive.
I ended up having to connect a spare ide drive (no 
mounting slot, so it's just hanging)Â to boot up and get linux installed so 
I could try find the drives, but still no luck. Anyone ever put linux on one of 
these? I've checked every site I could find for Mylex DAC960....really put 
Google through the ringer. I've checked the HP site. I'm running SuSe 7.0. I 
even installed RedHat 7.1 (and I really don't like Redhat) to see if it could 
find it, but no joy there, either.
 
It may just have something to do with Raid, which 
I've never worked with on linux before, but I'll be damned if I can find out 
what to do with it. I don't want to just go back to Windows just so I can use 
the thing.
