Also, the HD is empty when I start. I had to same thing awhile ago. It was beyond my expertise to add a driver to initrd.img, although I may give it another shot after reading Chris's steps. What I ended up doing was putting the driver files (modinfo, modules.cgz, etc.) in the root of my custom install DVD, then I added the following line to my kickstart file: driverdisk hda --type=iso9660 The RAID drive should load automatically. You'd be limited to the first CD/DVD drive using the above call BTW. It's not the most elegant solution, but it got me up and running. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!
