We'd previously had it working under 6.2 with the I2O Kernel that Intel
released with the board. It was based on 2.2.16, and seemed to behave OK
with that combo. It's now up and working, but we ended up using the 1.0 XFS
CD, and setting the filesystems to be EXT2 (yuck) rather than XFS ( happines
).
Hmmm, I have never encountered this raid adapter before. Would you need a
seperate patch for getting it to work? I have tried getting the AMI
Megaraid in I2O mode which always resulted in a kernel panic.
What you could try is build a cvs kernel (currently 2.4.10) which might not
have this problem. There is no installer yet with a kernel later then 2.4.5
so a bit of time is needed before this can be used.
There is no word yet on a RedHat 7.2 installer disk although this would
probably be started after 7.2 is officially released. Anyone wishing to
participate or contribute may contact the list.

Couldn't really tell due to frustration at about our 8th install attempt.
!
Now it's up again, we'll start to figure out what was going wrong and
hopefully isolate it to something more definate. We'll have a go at making
some filesystems XFS, which may show us what's up.
If you have a working system complete with logging it might be a bit
simpler to debug.

Well, I got at least 2&1/2 last night, so it's home time for more. Thanks
to those who responded.
You're welcome.
