System Specs: Soyo K7V Dragon VIA KT266 ide-0 = ata/66 maxtor ide-1 = cdrom ide-3 = IBM Deskstar 60GB ide-4 = IBM Deskstar 60GB Redhat 7.1 (with latest patches) Kernel 2.4.10 with patch-to-2.4.10 configured kernel with promise settings as suggested Switched the jumper to enable RAID1 - configure/build the raid - enable the raid in the bios I am NOT booting of the RAID1 device - booting off ide-0 When I enable the bios Promise raid setting, I get a kernel panic NET4: Unix Domain Sockets.... ds: no socket drivers loaded FAT: bogus logical sector size 0 VFS: mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly Warning: unable to open inital console Kernel Panic: no init found.... The really odd thing is the root filesystem is ext2, not reiserfs - the drives for the raid ARE reiserfs. This makes me think the system is attempting to boot of the raid1. If I just disable the bios setting, the system boots fine. Any ideas or suggestions. FYI - this will be a production system - should I use software raid1 until the promise raid1 drivers mature?
