My problem is that during boot the kernel sees the 2 drives on the RAID card separately (even though I built a RAID0 with the FASTRAK bios) Even if I insmod the proper modules, it still doesn't see them as a single "drive"
Solution: brute force load the modules in rc.sysinit
Once I verified that the modules loaded correctly and I could then create my FS, change it to ext3. After that I added the appropriate lines to
/etc/fstab and away we went!
So to review, Anaconda Blue Screens during a normal RH 7.2 install with promise RAID controller (and I thought Blue Screen was a MS thing?!?). Solution, install RH7.2 without raid card installed onto a local hard drive. Then modify rc.sysinit or /etc/modules.conf (I just never got the syntax correct) to load the ataraid.o and pdcraid.o modules. Then you can mk a fs or partitions on your raid mount. Make the necessary adjustements to your /etc/fstab file and away you go :)
Hope this helps
