Hi there, Well I got it running on fc2, then I updated to fc3 and it still works.. But when I tryed to install fc3 from scratch on another machine it didn't worked... It gave some strange error... So I installed withoud raid and the box works. Now I'm thinking of trying fc2 and then updating to see if it works okay...
