Hi folks :
Could anybody show me on how to guide me here in step by step
configuring my system with raid controller here?


1st problem :

I am using a intel 845wd1 motherboard with 2 maxtor 60 gig hard disk

i plan to mirror the OS + 40 gig data from hd 1(hde)  to hd (hdg),
i have try few times, but i dont think i manage to do it.

the experience :

1. i configured raid 1 PDC20267 with 2 cables, each set to master, means
one of the controller will be master controller.
2. then i install linux, i can see the partition in the menu... it shows hde and hdg.
because of i want to mirror hhe to hdg, so i did disturb or create any partition
in hdg.
3 then i proceed with installation.
4 after i reboot the PC, it just cannot boot, it said " grub error 22"


please guide me on this or correct me on this.


2nd experience :


1. i just clean the entire hd and then i did a fresh installation.
2. when finish doing it, i rebuild the mirror which from the source to the destination.
3. it boot successfully, but the problem is, the hd just booted with read only mode,'
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


well, now i have a system with following the first experience, and i still cannot boot,
i also lack of knowledge then just didnt rebuild the mirror. for booting, i created a CD
to boot.


please show me where i gone wrong. i am using a redhat 9.0

below are my current config which i copy from dmesg in var/log :
