It most probably won't work using the hardware ide raid without major driver
agonies - suggest you use software raid option.

make sure that its not set to boot off of cdrom first in bios - this seems
to stuff up software raid

also remember it will run like custard for a few hours while the disks sync

cat /proc/mdstat to see disk sync %

cheers

Subject: [wellylug] SME Server problems


Hi All...

I have just installed SME Server 6.0.1 on a box for a client. The install
went fine except when I reboot the box or shut it down and then start it up
again it doesn't boot into SME Server.

I can boot SME using the the rescue floppy, but I need it to boot using LILO
like it should. I am using the PX865PE Pro II motherboard from Albatron and
the 2 120GB hard-drives are operating off the IDE RAID.

If someone can give me some hints to fix?

BTW, the system sees (when booted off the floppy) the two hard-drives (RAID
1) as hde.

Thanks

Michael
