    Hi,

    I desperately needed some direction here...

    I have a RAID-5 system with 3 SCSI drives and (was) running Debian
    before it was hit by power outage.

    I suspect the first drive is damaged but the 2nd drive is fine and the
    third also might be ok, which gives me some hope to recover the data.

    When I connect all the 3 drives and try to boot from the 2nd drive
    (which 'seems' to be ok to me), I get this error "L 80 80 80..."
    continuosly while booting.

    I want to know if I can do something to boot this system, or I should
    call the data experts (as a last resort)

    I am trying hard to get any kind of info with this problem and RAID-5,
    but I couldnt get anything decent. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Manudath
