Hi I have tried to install Centos v3.3 with a PRomise SX4000Lite IDE RAID controller but without success. Can anyone give me a hint why ??? this is the first time that I use something besides what's included in the kernel.

Reading about systemd, it seems it is not well liked and reminiscent of Microsoft's "put everything into the Windows Registry" (Win 95 onwards). Is there a practical alternative to omnipresent, or invasive, systemd ? -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. Centos, Exim, Apache, Libre Office. Linux is the future. Micro$oft is the past.
