 Sul sito promise dicono di si
Sul Sito di MDK della promise sono solo sopportati i controller SCSI, è la
stessa cosa?
Ciao.

 controller SCSI, è la stessa cosa?
direi di no !!!
hai visto questo link?
http://support.promise.com/Linux/Default.htm



Si, ci sono dei file da scaricare, (xxx.tar) ma di MDK non dice
nulla....ne tanto meno come usarli.
Forse durante l'installazione, quando MDK kiede se si vogliono installare
Controller SCSI ecc bisogna intervenire qui, e scegliere il proprio
controller da una lista, solo se questo che ho io nn è supportato come
faccio anche se i file che si trovano su sito della promise ?!bho.
Ciao.

Non c'ho capito nulla!
Ciao.
