Hello everyone,

I hope you guys can help me out. I have a Dell Poweredge 700 Server with a P4 and originally it had the Dell Hardware Raid controller card installed in it. I have been having issues with the card going bad. (replaced twice now with ebay replacements) constantly beeping saying raid is not good. Anyways, I have found a replacement PCI RAID card that I would like to use. It's a HighPoint RocketRAID 1740. I have found a thread on here earlier and it has some instructions on how to compile the open source drivers for this card, but I have been unsucessful so far. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. I'm not the biggest linux guru in the world, but I have installed ubuntu plenty of times on PC's at work and for my family. If anyone has any tips or tricks they can offer to get the install to see my RAID 1, please let me know. Thanks for all that you guys do... :)
