This procedure worked perfectly. A few warnings are displayed on screen, but they seem to have been non-critical. The system rebooted perfectly. Thanks for your help. I installed the raidutils from http://i2o.shadowconnect.com but there seems to be an issue with that. I loaded the i2o_config module, then tested the raidutils with the command "raidutil -L logical". Here is the info: [root@fc2test root]# raidutil -L logical Engine connect failed: COMPATIBILITY number [root@fc2test root]# lsmod | grep i2o i2o_config 9616 0 i2o_proc 40476 0 i2o_block 13600 7 i2o_core 39280 3 i2o_config,i2o_proc,i2o_block [root@fc2test root]# l /dev/i2o/ctl crw------- 1 root root 10, 166 Feb 23 15:02 /dev/i2o/ctl [root@fc2test root]# rpm -q raidutils raidutils-0.0.4-1
