Thanks for the reply. i am indeed using software RAID, not any RAID

complicated than mine, and your RAID 5 is much larger than mine, so no
reason mine shouldn't work. I will double check settings in my BIOS to
make sure it isn't causing problems. I don't think I will put swap and
boot on RAID, just /. looking at your setup, I couldn't see anything I
did wrong.

....I forgot to ask...which kernel are you using? If need be, wait to
create the raid until you can upgrade the kernel to 2.6.22.9-0.4-bigsmp
(or default). You can create a stub /home on the root drive with no
users. That works well FWIW. There are some issues with the release
version of the kernel but the 0.4 kernel has been solid for me.
Richard,

This is a clean install using the release version. So I could do a quick
install and upgrade the kernel using a stub /home as you suggest.
