Hardware:

This is a standard PC-PIII 500MHz with an Intel motherboard
and a DAC960 RAID solution from Mylex (a PCI-SCSI card with 
three harddisks attached, uses RAID level 5, BIOS 4.10-41).

Events:

0) Decided to set up Linux RD7.0

1) Tried to set up the external SCSI disk drives as controlled
   by the DAC960 controller. Partitioned the drive using fdisk. 
   (For the layout: see below)
   After I quit fdisk, the setup program (anaconda?) gives an
   error from fdisk: 
   "An error occurred reading the partition table for the block
    device rd/c0d0. The error was: no free resources".

   --> How do I find out what kind of resources it needs?

   Had to "skip" the device and install everything on /dev/hda
   only.

2) Tried to set up RAID device from within the freshly installed
   RH7.0 Linux. Partitioned /dev/rd/c0d0 using fdisk into 
   3 primary (of which one swap) + 1 extended partition (with 5 
   sub-partitions)
   Then called up mkfs on each of the /dev/rd/c0d0p{1...9} except
   the for extended partition, /dev/rd/c0d0p4.
   Noticed that /dev/rd/c0d0p9 does not exist, so I did 'mknod'.
   After that, for c0d0p8 and c0d0p9, Linux balks with the msg:
   "device not configured while trying to determine filesystem
    size"

   --> Do I have to rebuild the kernel for c0d0p8 & c0d0p9?
       I think not.

   Notice that mkfs /dev/c0d0 works, so I guess there is no
   problem with the geometry (128 heads, 32 sectors, 8715
   cylinders for a total of 17430MB)

3) I tried various configurations of the partitions...
   anything up to /dev/c0d7 works.
