[NCLUG] Linux on SCSI Raid array

[BJ Tiemessen]

A freind of mine gave me a IBM PC Server 330 the other day to replace my 
current Compaq (P2-300, 64 meg ram) that does the IP Masquerading for 
our house.  The PC Server has dual P2-266 chips, 128 megs ram, and a 
hot-plug drive cage with 5 - 4.5 gig drives running Raid5.  When he gave 
me the box it had Windows 2000 set up on it and booted up and ran fine. 
 The problems started when I tied to install Linux.  I first tried 
Debian, then tried Mandrake but both report that they cannot find a hard 
drive.  The correct SCSI controller module is being loaded (I have even 
tried specifying it during install) but still no drive found.  I can't 
remember off the top of my head what the exact controller card number 
is, its an Adaptec U2 wide card.  I then pulled the drives out and 
started looking at them and found that they are all set to ID 0.  I have 
never set up a raid drive array before, but every other SCSI chain I 
have set up I put a unique ID on each device.  Am I correct in assuming 
that these drives all need a unique ID?  When I go into the ServeRaid 
setup everything looks ok, 5 drives set to raid5, all online with 1 
logical drive.  Any Ideas on what I need to do to get Linux to see my 
drives?  Thanks,

BJ
