Hi Michael - this does look like the ioctl problem Martin was talking
about.

I made an (as yet untested) driver update disk for this with updated
DAC960, cpqarray, and cciss drivers that include the necessary ioctl at:

http://lager.dyndns.org/raid-dd-i686-0509.img

dd that to a disk and type "linux dd" or "text dd" at the installer
prompt.

If you feel like experimenting a bit, you might give it a shot.  Easier
than downloading another 300MB+ iso at some point in the future.  :)

Thanks,

-Eric
