Hi all, I'm trying to get to the point of proficiency with gentoo so I can start using it as my dialy os when vista comes out...
ive been searching around for information on this controller, but I havent found anything.

I have my gentoo load sitting on an IDE hard drive at the moment for testing and would eventually like to have it on my RAID 0 array of 3 37GB WD Raptors
I think I have the right support compiled into my kernel (2.6.17-r7 gentoo-sources) because I can see bot partitions on the array as /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2
Both of these partitions have are formatted with the NTFS file system and support for NTFS is also compiled into my kernel. My windows load currently sits on the first paritiion
When I try to mount /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 mount says that I need to specify a file system type
Then I tried this:

Code:


# mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

#


then taking the advice in the output...

Code:

# dmesg | tail
fbsplash: console 9 using theme 'gentoo'
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 9
fbsplash: console 10 using theme 'gentoo'
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 10
sky2 eth0: enabling interface
sky2 eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control both
NTFS-fs warning (device sda1): is_boot_sector_ntfs(): Invalid boot sector checksum.
NTFS-fs error (device sda1): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is invalid.
NTFS-fs error (device sda1): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover.
NTFS-fs error (device sda1): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.

does anyone know why it doesnt want to mount it? Is it because it doesnt like the raid array or controller?
the windows load on the array boots and runs fine
has anyone gotten one of these running yet?

If you need me to post anymore info up lemme know.

Thanks

incase anyone is watching I tried just plugging a regular non-raid volume into the sata controller and it I can mount it. So it probably just doesnt like how ntfs was put on the raid array. I would be willing to bet when I format the raid volume with reiserfs it will mount
