I've got an ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI motherboard with 2 Gb RAM & AMD 5600 X2 proc.

There are (2) Seagate ST350032NS (500 GB SATA drives) configure in the BIOS for a RAID1. The OS is RedHat Fedora 9.

Following successful installation, it fails to boot. The grub boot loader displays correctly but immediately goes into POST and reboots as soon as the OS begins to load. There are no errors displayed.

If I use the recovery CD, I can mount the sysimage and run yum update and install software successfully. I cannot get this machine to boot on it's own without following this procedure.

Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

BIOS Raid1 ?  on ASUS motherboard? sounds like fake raid and wouldn't be
supported...at least not without some tacky vendor supplied driver.
Perhaps you need to give us info on this BIOS RAID (lspci -v)

I suspect that you would find 'software' RAID much easier to install and
get working and probably perform better too.
