That looks proper.


that's bout it...chose next and we on the way...starts installing and
whammo...no disk space grrrrrrrrrrr ...system will reboot...just hit ok

I don't think that is a RAID related problem.

http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc1/#IntelD845

I would try to process installation with "linux ide=nodma" booting. Or
see the other hints regarding the different hardward.


ok I did "linux ide=nodma" ....it looks like that was the problem!

but now that opens up another can of worms. so now, yes, I am sure that
the problem was/is in the hardware and not w/my raid configuration.
during this install(which is still going on) this system has lost at
least 90% of it's speed! Considering that w/out dma, everything has to
come and go thru the processor really dragging the system down...then
also the type of operation we are asking the system to do; write to 2
hard drives instead of 1, puts more stress on the processor. It just
doesn't seem to be the route to go.


I am going to let it finish installing....2 1/2 more hrs...let it boot
up and I am really considering swapping the motherboard out w/a spare
slot A I have here and try installing normally.

At least we did narrow down the problem thx to Alexander's suggestion

You might try to remove the ide=nodma from the grub.conf file to see if the system works with dma. I believe that the option is inserted in the grub.conf file if you use the paranmeter during installation.
