[CentOS] centos 5.5 install + intel raid

Hi all,

Installing 5.5 on a fresh system having an Intel RAID.

My 2 drives are configured as a mirror within the Intel BIOS.

When starting my install, Anaconda throws an exception.

After a brief goog, I see one possible fix is - at the install prompt, type;

linux text nodmraid

This is fine and all but Centos sees 2 disks at this point rather then 1 which is what I thought the Intel RAID controller would present to the OS.

I am pretty much tarded when it comes to installs as I usually boot of a DVD, enter some choices based on requirements and off I go.

I once compiled a network driver into the initrd and remade my boot disk but that seems beyond me now.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
