Dan, Thanks for your input. I evetually figured out the same thing after lots of googleing. I went with the easier method of booting a recovery shell and adding cqparray to the modules file. It works fine. Thanks again.

The problem is that the "cpqarray" module needs to be part of the initrd image. You either need to recompile the kernel with this driver built in (slow on our older hardware), or rebuild the initrd to include this driver (much faster). I documented the first way here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=392009 To do the shorter method, you can follow the above steps 1 through 6, but instead of recompiling the kernel you can just rebuild the initrd file with these steps: 1: Use an editor to edit the /etc/mkinitramfs/modules file and add a line with "cpqarray" at the end. (no "#" at the beginning of the line.) 2: Then rebuild kernel initrd with /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-<kernelversion> <kernelversion> i.e. /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-28-686 2.6.15-28-686 (assuming you have "linux-image-2.6.15-28-686" installed on your system). When you reboot, this kernel should work now.
