Hi all,
I have looked on google and tryed to find an answer, if
linux kernel supports
Intel Server RAID Controller U3-1LA (SRCU31LA)
but I did not find a clear answer,
please, could somebody tell me if I can use linux (Redhat 9 for example)
with this hw RAID card for raid 1 without problems ?
Thanks a lot

I'm using an Intel SRCMR RAID controller in RAID5 mode under RedHat 9
with 280GB attatched and have no trouble at all. From what I can tell
on Intel's website, my card and yours both use the same "GDTH" kernel
driver, so I don't see any reason why yours won't work... unless your
RAID controller model is newer (but it shouldn't be, I see specs on your
model dating back to 2002) and the kernel just doesn't recognize its PCI
ID yet.
HTH,

s/Intel/Adaptec/ now
Older SCU raid cards think they are I2O, although apparently with
updated firmware they use gdth instead. The newer ones are the gdth
cards.

Yes, use the gdth driver (sorry the linkage isn't clearer).
