Subject:   Problems booting with a degraded RAID1

Has anyone else noticed any problems with booting a system with a
degraded RAID1 array?  On a system with a on board HPT370 (Abit
KG7-RAID), it will drop me to a "root device selection" if the RAID is
in degraded mode.  While this will generally not be a problem, it will
become one if the machine gets rebooted (forcefully or not) before the
dead hard disk is replaced.  Currently the only way to bring the
system back up is to rebuild the array from the BIOS, which will keep
the machine down for the 30-45 minutes that it takes to rebuild the
array.

Anyone have any work arounds, or fixes for this?

Thanks,

Ben
