You will probably need to pull the rocketraid cards, and you'll almost certainly need to avoid putting Linux anywhere near them. To quote Mark Lord on the kernel list "And the Highpoint RocketRAID cards are a similarly dubious choice, as their onboard BIOS is known to corrupt filesystems before Linux is even booted. In particular, an "unconfigured" drive -- just plugged into a RR card without entering the BIOS setup to configure a RAID -- gets sector 8 overwritten by the BIOS. This will destroy GRUB if it was installed. And for drives which *have* been configured in the RR BIOS, it overwrites a sector at the end of the final full GB on the drive, for holding RR metadata." ~ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
