New MB issues

[Bob Raymond]

Hi all,

I stuck my new motherboard in yesterday, and immediately had to boot my 
Gentoo rescue disk because I had forgotten to recompile my kernel with 
support for the Highpoint 374.  The install disk recognized the thing 
fine and put my normal Linux disk on /dev/hdi, as it was the only drive 
on the controller (and I have a Promise controller that takes precedence 
somehow).  HOWEVER, rebooting with the device as /dev/hdi and with the 
new kernel, I can't get the filesystem to mount.  So, I decided to go 
back to VIA IDE.  Not a good plan, because the new controller + DMA 
don't seem to like kernel 2.4.  (read: DMA won't enable).  So, I've 
decided I really have to go back to the Highpoint (under the Gentoo 
disk, I actually got performance out of my Maxtor 5400 RPM disk on the 
Highpoint equivelant to my Deathstar 120GXP 7200 RPM on the Promise, so 
it seems like a good plan.  But I'm wondering- what device do I use? 
Here's how things seem to be arranged, to give a better picture:


IDE0 + IDE1 - standard VIA IDE, hda-hdd
Promise IDE0 + IDE1 - PCI card, hde-hdh
Highpoint 374 RAID controller (no RAID setup, just one IDE disk), 
labeled IDE2-IDE5, would it then be hdi-hdp?
