    Hello.

    Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that I tried the various acpi and APIC
    disabling options, and still no joy. My aging IBM had a similar problem way
    back when, and the noapic option cured it.

    I did wonder if using the older megaraid driver might work better, but I was
    concerned that it didn't even seem to be trying to load the correct driver.

    And I did check and see which PCI slot the RAID card is supposed to be in,
    and I do have the card in the properly supported slot for the machine type.

    Bye for now,
    Stuart.

    I have the same problem except we have a server with an Adaptec 2010S
    ZCR RAID card configured with 2x36GB and 3x72GB drives. Trying to boot
    using the 2x36GB as RAID 1.

    Try disabling acpi
    Boot using the option
    acpi=off

    Card

    Hello, everyone.

    I just tried a couple of times to install 9.0 on a spare HP Netserver
    LC3 I
    have here. The two 9GB hard drives are mirrored via the NetRAID 3si
    card.
    I understand this card is an LSI MegaRAID 438 card, and as such have
    tried
    using the megaraid2 driver. The installation goes OK, although I had to
    manually select the RAID driver as it wasn't autodetected. Partitioning
    seems to go OK, and the packages all install, but after the first boot,
    there's a kernel panic. I don't see the RAID driver being loaded, and
    the
    panic occurs as the system fails to mount / from sda2.

    Has anyone had success with this setup ? I have an identical machine
    that I
    plan to install SLOX4.1 onto this week, and this problem concerns me
    somewhat. I bought the 3si card as it was the only HP RAID card that
    shows
    up in the SuSE hardware database, and it shows as being fully supported.

    Bye for now,
    Stuart.
