I checked it, and this really helps: the installation is totally performed - no hangup, and afterwards the system runs with centOS 5.Can't get to my problematic system to test at the moment, but do recall seeing that reference and don't think it worked for me. I do know that my system will not boot CentOS 5 with any of the CentOS kernels, but will run on recent Fedora or CentOS 4 kernels, as documented in http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1879 That references upstream https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186272 There have been boot problems with different Promise controllers with somewhat different symptoms. Mine is 00:11.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20575 (SATAII150 TX2plus) (rev 02) Not a RAID controller. What exact hardware are you finding the nodmraid work-around helps on?
Promise PDC20319u SATA 150 RAID JB
