Has anyone had any luck installing and running RAID 1 on a Tyan 2500 machine via kickstart, or even just from the CD? I have a Tyan 2500 motherboard with 1 Pentium III processor installed and 1 GB of memory. Here's an excerpt from my (RedHat 7.3) kickstart file: skipx bootloader --useLilo --location mbr zerombr yes clearpart --all part raid.01 --size=60 --ondisk hda part raid.02 --size=60 --ondisk hdc part raid.11 --size=3000 --ondisk hda part raid.12 --size=3000 --ondisk hdc part raid.21 --size=2200 --ondisk hda part raid.22 --size=2200 --ondisk hdc part raid.31 --size=2000 --ondisk hda part raid.32 --size=2000 --ondisk hdc raid /boot --level 1 --device md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid / --level 1 --device md1 raid.11 raid.12 raid /var --level 1 --device md2 raid.21 raid.22 raid swap --fstype swap --level 1 --device md3 raid.31 raid.32 It installs fine, and if I boot from the CD with linux rescue ide=nodma, it will mount all the raid partitions fine. But when I try and boot from the hard drive, It stops at LI when it is trying to put out the word LINUX. [I changed the IDE cables around so that the two drives were both Masters, and the CDROM was a slave, which is why the configuration above uses hda and hdc, rather than hda and hdb. The default wiring was such that the CDROM was (the master) on the secondary and the second disk was a slave on the primary channel.] But then I put it all back the way it started, and reinstalled without RAID and it did the same thing. So, now I'm wondering if there is a hardware problem or the install is not zeroing the MBR as it should.
