Dear,

I'm trying to perform an unattended (harddrive kickstart) RedHat 8.0
(2.4.18-14) installation on a Compaq ML350 server with a HP Smart Array 641
controller.
I've got 3 SCSI disks and the first I've made the following setup => Disk 1&
2 are mirrored and 3 is a backup drive.
This means I've got the following devices available
/dev/cciss/c0d0
/dev/cciss/c0d1
I've changed the initrd.img file used for installation so it contains the
updated cciss.o needed for this controller.
In the %post install if install the cpq_cciss-2.4.48-8.rh80.i686.rpm I
downloaded from
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/18420.html
The problem is when I reboot I only get an L so I think I've got a LILO
problem.
However when I boot with a bootdiskette everything seems to work ?

Can someone help me out please ?

Regards,

Dennis
