Re: SATA RAID ( ICH5R / Adaptec 1210SA) + RHEL4 ?

[Gavin Young <gavin young clendons co nz>]

RHEL4 probably doesn't have the required drivers for your controller.
You will need to provide the drivers using the "linux dd" command when
you are presented with the initial install screen (instead of just
hitting enter).

Finding the correct/compatible drivers is the fun bit...
