Redhat Linux ES 4 will not load after I installed a Raid card

Fri Aug 26 20:17:12 UTC 2005

Thanks for the reply, I did setup the hardware raid first using the IBM
ServeRAID disk. I setup 70GB RAID 1 drive and a 146GB Raid 1 drive. REDHAT
ES4 only gets a little further than the first screen where it asks you if
you want to use the GUI to load or the command line option.

The ServeRaid is a hardware RAID card...you don't use software RAID on
it.

You need to set up the RAID using the ServeRaid program first, THEN
install RHES4 on the resulting RAID drive.
