I'm trying to find any info that is useful to anyone. Here's the new stuff I can tell you. The RAID is detected as: amr0: <AMI MegaRAID> mem 0xfe202fff irq 10 at device 6.0 on pci0 amr0: <PERC 3/SC> Firmware 1.63, BIOS 3.17, 32MB RAM (Further down) amrd0: <MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0 amrd0: 17278MB (3538344 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal) (a few lines about the tape drive...) no devsw (majdev=38 bootdev=0xa020001e) Then I get all of the stuff about manually entering a root filesystem. Hopefully this helps someone. Thanks, Joe Andrew Boothman wrote: > > Joseph Koenig wrote: > > >I have a new Dell 1500ST. CHARLES with an 18GB RAID 1 - 1.13 GHz, 512MB > >RAM.
