I'm using HTP 370 ATA RAID controller, which should have been supported in
stable and current according to CVS messages from Soren.
But as few of us found, it is not, in fact.
KERNEL recognises device ar0.
4.2 sysinstall does not offer ar0 as disk drive
5.0-current sysinstall offers it, but is not able to create slices on it.
(DEBUG: MakeDev unknown major/minor).
So I looked through sysinstall source and libdisk source and guess what ! -
libdisk doesn't know about ar? devices yet.
Could someone update the libdisk source in stable and current to include the
device?
The files affected are:
/src/lib/libdisk/create_chunk.c
/src/lib/libdisk/disk.c

Unfortunately I am not able to compile and try this, but if someone can
create a set of 4-STABLE or 5-CURRENT installation disks and e-mail them,
I'm willing to try.
Those diffs are against 2000-10-30 stable, so they are just to show changes
what I thing should be done to actual current files. This should make
Current install on ATA RAID hopefully. I don't know, if it will make STABLE
sysinstall recognize the ar device. I hope so.
