Building ATA RAID and SMP Support into Slackware 9

Posted by timothy on from the tomorrow's-computer-today dept.

TheMadPenguin writes "This HOWTO will describe the steps necessary to build support into Slackware Linux 9.0 for Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and a Promise Ultra ATA RAID redundant drive array. By default, there is no support for these configurations unless specified through a kernel recompilation after the initial install."

  1. Who needed the HOWTO?!?!?! by farrellj · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Most of us Slackware Users already can do this, in our sleep...if you haven't compiled a Kernel a couple of hundred times, you probably aren'ta Slackware user!

    Just this past week, I compiled kernels for use on IBM X series e-server SMP systems and ServeRaid (ips) or MTP Fusion Chipsets...plus sound card support...A little tricky, and but no biggie.
