    I'm using current Debian Stable (Sarge). I routinely use mondoarchive to
    make a bootable DVD of my whole system on a Dell 600SC with an IDE drive.
    This DVD is capable of restoring to bare metal if necessary. I've never
    tried it on the 600SC because I've never had to. However, I have used it to
    restore an AMD machine, also with an IDE drive. It restored the whole
    system flawlessly!

    Now I want to use the 600SC's mondo backup DVD to restore (clone to) a Dell
    PowerEdge 1850 with a perc 4eid raid 1 controller. Note that I can install
    Sarge from scratch (not the mondo backup) on the 1850 with a 2.4 kernel just
    fine. However, the 2.6 kernel installer doesn't recognize the SCSI drive
    array.

    Similarly, when I try the monorestore, it doesn't recognize the HDD. I've
    tried using DVDs made with mondo running with a 2.4 kernel as well as a 2.6
    kernel - neither recognizes the HDD.

    Anyone done this and know how to get mondo to recognize the perc 4eid raid
    controller as a logical HDD?

    I posted this here rather than the mondo list because you guys are the most
    familiar with Debian's flavors and distros.

    All comments appreciated! - John
