RedHat 6.1 on DS10 with IDE via FTP fails

[Sven Crouse <scrouse dcs uconn edu>]

Has anybody successfully installed using the above configuration?  I
have tried many attempts in different ways, but ultimately the problem
is the same.

Typical scenario:
1-create BSD disk label and paritions per "Linux Installation and
Configuration Guide for AlphaServer"
2-boot generic.img and ramdisk as included in 6.1 tree
3-configure network and retrieve base
4-select custom install
5-get to disk druid or whatever it is and enter mount points to
partitions created beforehand
6-waits indefinately with blue screen at which point virtual console #3
reveals
.....
going to insmod raid0.o(path is NULL)
going to insmod raid1.o(path is NULL)
going to insmod raid5.o(path is NULL)
Autopartitioning FAILED
......
