This document uses methodologies that I have developed over the years. Some of these docs have saved my butt on several occasions (documenting things like Drive partition maps, I/O and IRQ maps). This may seem like a pain in the butt to do initially but when you need them..
YOU NEED THEM!
- Mandrake 7.0 w/ all available patches
v2.2.25
- Intel Pentium 200Mhz / 128MB EDO RAM
- Intel TC430HX motherboard (cannot tune IRQ use)
- Serial port #1: COM1 - IRQ 4

- ST0: HP T4000 TR4 Tape drive (ID: 6) [dead?]
== In the secondary RAID enclosure ==
- SDA: Seagate ST39173N 9GB (20Mb/s) (ID: 0) - Primary HD
- SDB: Seagate ST39173N 9GB (20Mb/s) (ID: 1) -
- SDC: IBM DNES-309170 9GB (20Mb/s) (ID: 2) -
- SDD: Seagate ST39173N 9GB (20Mb/s) (ID: 3) - dd backup of SDA
- I/O:(See docs on IRQTUNE to better understand why these
are like this. It makes a difference!)
