Raid B350 Ubuntu 18.04.2

The RAID drivers are nor published for Ubuntu 18.04.2. I wonder how does this change the Ubuntu install. I want to have the RAID from the installation with a separate HOME and also follow the latest AMD driver for Radeon RX 560. The setup would be NVME Root / and RAID 0 Home /home. I want to be able to reinstall Ubuntu if needed and not lose my HOME.

What would be the compile instructions for new kernels during install? Is this correct?

uname -a
Linux PC 4.18.0-20-generic #21~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 8 08:43:37 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

make KVERS=4.18.0-20-generic      install

I've compiled the instructions:

Download site : https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/b350

    1. Copy AMD-RAID drivers: Linux

  1. NOTE: Only a USB flash drive can be used to copy and load the AMD-RAID Linux drivers.

  2. Power-on the system.

  3. Locate and use a system that is running a Windows operating system and has a USB I/O port for the USB flash drive.

  4. Go to a browser and access the web site of your system supplier or motherboard vendor.

  5. Insert a USB flash drive into the USB I/O port of the system.

  6. Download the AMD-RAID drivers for the correct distribution version of Linux. Copy the drivers onto the USB flash drive:

  8. For Red Hat Linux: Copy the .iso image file (which matches the distribution version of Linux) to the USB flash drive.

  9. Example:

  10. Copy dd-rcraid-RHEL7-3.10.0-514.el7-x86_64.iso for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.3 x64.

  12. For Ubuntu Linux: Copy the files contained inside the applicable dd-rcraid-Ubuntu116-4.4.0-31- folder into a dd directory located on a USB flash drive. The following files should be located in the dd directory located on the USB flash drive root, for an Ubuntu Linux Desktop installation.

  13. Example:

  14. dd

  15. load_amdraid

  16. post_install

  17. post_install2

  18. pre_install

  19. rcraid.ko
