Trying to install SPlat R65 on a SunFire X2200 M2. The server is listed as supported,
http://www.checkpoint.com/services/techsupport/hcl/model_info/0040.html But I'm having what appear to be SATA controller issues. The system has two 250 GB HDDs. The controller is a nVidia MCP55. The drives are configured in the BIOS as a mirrored pair. If I don't configure the two drives as an array, I don't get the option to boot from any HDDs in the BIOS. The SPlat CDROM boots and says the hardware is OK for SPlat. The install goes fine. But the thing is, SPlat sees two independent drives. The install is done across both. I can see this when I boot another Linux distro CDROM and look at the HDDs. After the "successful" SPlat install, the system just hangs up after reboot. I think the conflict is the system is trying to boot off of the mirrored pair, but the OS has installed across two independent disks. Suspecting this, I popped out one of the HDDs. The BIOS complains that the array is degraded, but I install SPlat with only one drive in the array. When I reboot, whaddya know, it boots up fine. However, I slip the second HDD back in, and again, things freeze up once it's time to start booting off of the HDD. So, this system is supposed to be supported. How do I configure this to work? I need to either (a) get SPlat to see the hardware mirrored array (preferred), or (b) get the system to boot off either of the two independent disks (OK). What is NOT OK is to have one disk. I want a second backup, whether mirrored array or second independent disk. Anyone have one of these set up?
