Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide.
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter. For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Welcome 1st, welcome to LQ. I hope you both get & give good answers here.
Before I start on what I found about your problem, I'd like to make 2 suggestions about what to post:
1. Post links to mfr.'s h/w info. -- it will save prospective helpers time & thus make it easier (read more likely) to try to help.
2. You are expected to try to solve your problem yourself before you post, Google, Google Linux, & searching LQ are good ways to this. If you then posted your searches, your helpers would get up to speed on your problem (& therefore be more likely to try to help) much quicker, not to mention know that you did already try to figure it out on your own.
Bad News It sounds like there is a Linux driver; & that means you are probably dealing w/ "fake RAID", see the Wikipedia RAID article or search LQ for "fake RAID".
Good News Most "fake RAID" chips can be used as plain multi-disk controllers for Linux software RAID, which is considered very good.

Search Google? Yea gee. didn't think of that. I ended up where you pointed to shortly after posting the question. Unfortunately the source to the t3sas driver (which is needed for that particular controller) will not compile against the 2.6.24.2 kernel. As far as this place is concerned, I was more or less hoping for quick response somewhat to the degree of "use X module found [here]".
On that note I have to say that I feel rather sorry for those new to Linux coming here for answers. If the philosophy here is to research the problem yourself, then why come here at all? With enough searching/studying, the solution is bound to present itself.
To be helpful to others with the same question I will add the following:
For people with the new MSI K9A2 Platinum (V1) motherboard with the Promise T3 RAID controller / FastTrack PDC42819 you will need visit www.promise.com, go to the driver download section and select FastTrack SAS. To get the source you'll need to select "Other" as the operating system. The actual module you need is called t3sas. Please note that as I mention above, it will not compile (by itself anyway) using the 2.6.24.2 kernel at the time of this post (2/18/2008). If you use an earlier kernel version, then there's a good chance you'll have better luck compiling the module.

Im having the same problem. Have you had any progress yet? I have some driver dev experience so I've started digging into the source. Im hoping I dont have to though.

Great news! I have the promise driver t3sas.ko compiled on the 2.6.24 kernel. There were a few errors that had to be corrected due to changes from the 2.6.18 to 2.6.24 versions.
I started by getting the driver compiled on a supported kernel 2.6.15 just so I could see what the output of a successful compile looks like and ensure that I could fdisk my RAID partition. I then got it working on 2.6.22 (ubuntu 7.10). So I took baby steps in getting to 2.6.24.
I used a ubuntu LiveCD (6.06LTS). Using the live cd I downloaded the kernel source and build-essential packages (also ncurses for menuconfig). I used a flash drive to hold the sources and driver build. I made mrproper, copied the config for the live cd from the /boot dir, made menuconfig and saved the config (i.e. no changes but rewrites the .config file.) build the kernel for 30 secs or so then Ctrl-c'd. With a good kernel source dir setup I was ready to compile the kernel module and debug. (dont forget to link via ln the /usr/src/kernel-source.2.6.24.x to /usr/src/linux.
The changes amounted to the following: 1. Change an include of /linux/ioctl32.h to /linux.ioctl.h 2. a struct dereference for ->sg_page is now via sg_page(sg) 3. In interrupt define flag SA_SHIRQ is now IRQF_SHARED.
I will post a diff file soon enough. The promise driver on a supported kernel produces a MEGA amount of warnings even for a supported kernel version. After realizing that in 2.6.15, I felt like I might have a change at this!
I am now installing using the ubuntu alternate install. During the install, after the network is initialized, I go to another VT and copy my driver over to the modules dir where the install uses to detect the RAID controller. Then VT back and continue the install and partd. Then before rebooting I have to VT back and regenerate the initrd. I found a really good post on another site on how to do this. When I finally get my system installed I will post the details.
