There needs to be loaded first a module, something like hpt370.o through initrd that will allow the system to see the drives as a single SCSI drive. When you see "sd-" anything coming up in the messages you are likely on the way there. Which distro are you using? RH or SuSE? Both of these and Caldera have pre-compiled kernels available through the Highpoint website and are accompanied by initrd files and modules and instructions to install. New install is much easier. Later. Richard http://www.highpoint-tech.com/ for the files.
