Hi guys, I'm looked through the archives a bit, but with no luck - I'm having trouble booting off my 3ware 7850 controller, and I'd appreciate any advice anyone has. I can boot off a diskette, but whenever I try to run off the array itself, my computer hangs - it doesn't even display the start of a GRUB (or lilo) loader message. In fact, it seems to keep trying to poll the floppy. (Yes, I do have the 3ware in the boot sequence in BIOS) The system details are as follows: Tyan Tiger MP motherboard 3ware 7850 w/ 8 disks in a RAID1+0 setup 3GB / (root) partition RedHat 7.2 (or Mandrake 8.2 Beta 1.. both fail) Thoughts? Also, one thing I intend to try is to remove the other SCSI (Adaptec 2940) card and see if perhaps that's confusing it. I'll get to that tomorrow, but thought I'd check for advice in the meantime.... Thanks very much, - Brian PS. The issue, obviously, is not imperative, since I can just use a floppy or CD image to boot from, but for perfection's sake, I wanted to use the drive array, if possible. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
