I have installed FC3 on a Promise TX2000 3 disk raid 0 using DMRaid. I used the info/patches provided by Mark Wormgoor, https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-October/msg00728.html, which added DMRaid support to Anaconda (although I had to further patch Mark's code). This required rebuilding the stage2.img from the FC3 install which I then installed on the target machine over a HTTP connection rather than from CD (couldn't be bothered rebuilding the CD's). I also had to install grub from FC-development as Grub in FC3 wouldn't work with my DMRaid array. You may be as well waiting for FC4 which I'm hoping will have native DMRaid support. Perhaps Heinz could clarify the state of DMRaid in FC4 as FC4test2 certainly didn't have native support (though I haven't tried the newly released test3 revision)? -- Best regards, Rob Hall - Red Hat Certified Engineer Technical Team Leader Newsquest Digital Media _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
