Description Ian Cooper 2004-06-28 10:36:54 UTC 
A patch to update genkernel-3.0.2b to allow booting from an Intel ICH5-R raid array. This minor patch creates device nodes sd[a-c] in /dev, as well as the ataraid devices /dev/ataraid/dX. These are necessary in order for iswraid.o to load. The patch also adds "iswraid" to the ATARAID section in the default modules_load file in the genkernel/x86/modules_load directory.

This enhancement is related to the following bug submissions:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55277
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55271

The combination of these three items allows support for Gentoo installations on  SATA RAID 0 systems using Intel's ICH5-R controller.

Hrm, isn't devfsd supposed to create these nodes? Or does the driver not support devfsd and hence need manual node creation?
Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-06 16:00:40 UTC 
Ok, the latest genkernel has dmraid support which should fully support the Intel Software RAID controllers. Please try that, and if there is still a reason to include the iswraid support in then please reopen this bug. Thanks!
