I setup a system today with a Mylex Acceleraid 200, Intel T440BX board,
and 2 IBM 9gb drives.  The T440BX has a built in Symbios 875, which the
Acceleraid 200 takes over.  When I connect a drive activity LED to the
system board's drive activity jumper, the LED is off until after the Mylex
card's BIOS loads.  After that, the LED is solid on until the system is
shut off.  Just halting the system, but leaving it powered up, leaves the
LED on.

Is the behavior normal?  The Mylex card has a drive activity jumper
(according to the manual), but on the cards I have, that jumper does not
exist.  Is there any way (other than connecting directly to the disks'
activity jumpers) to get a proper drive activity LED in this setup?

BTW...installing Red Hat 6.1 was a PITA.  First, it (disk druid) tried
making /var on c0d0p8.  After I partitioned it manually, I got it to
install, but then realized I hadn't gotten to specify stride...so I'll
probably be starting over.
