Hello,

I am wondering if anyone can help me out.  I am looking for information
about Mandrake 7.0 on a Dell PowerEdge 4300/400 with a PERC raid controller
based off of AMI MegaRaid.  I am doing the install with Mandrake 7.0 Power
Pack.  Has anyone gotten Mandrake to run on this machine or another with the
root device raided using hardware raid?  

I can get everything installed by choosing the MegaRaid controller through
DrakX.  I see that during the install both of the drives that are under raid
1 are being written to.

The problem is when I reboot I cannot mount the drive and I get the
following error:  cannot open root dev 8:05  unable to mount root fs on
8:05.

Is it possible to mount a root device that is under raid 1? Is it possible
that it has something to do with the AMI raid controller? Is there something
that I forgot to do?  Is there something I can do?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.


Thank you for you time.

J Walton
