the SmartArray 110i is simply Intel "Matrix" fake raid. The hardware is purely basic plain SATA JBOD, but the BIOS and driver implement the raid behind the systems back.
Configure the BIOS for AHCI native SATA, and use linux native raid. See http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SoftwareRAIDonCentOS5?highlight=%28RAID%29

Hi Again,
I did some changes, i just created two partitions / and swap using the Anaconda Installer, it worked fine after loading boot loader GRUB and then after it stopped at Kernel Panic.
device—mapper: dm—raid15: initialized v0.25941 Waiting for driver initialization Scanning and configuring dnraid supported devices Trying to resume from (LABEL=SWAP-sda2) Unable to access resume device (L‘*wmVgW_¢;"1iZ) Creating root device.

Please suggest further. is there a way to create customized initrd for this default kernel available on CentOS 5.6
Thanks and Regards,
