Ok, we have a dell poweredge 1800. If we do fc3 linux rescue, it sees all the drives as a single raid container, making /dev/sda correctly display as 220gb. I can modify, create, delete, mount, and write to partitions from there. On login to linux rescue, it says "loading aacraid" which seems to be correct. HOWEVER, on fc3 actual install, when it gets to partition portion, it generally fails(but not always) on accessing/seeing /dev/sda. help? Do i need to provide some parameter on booting the linux install? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Meet the all-new My Yahoo! - Try it today! http://my.yahoo.com
