I have the CentOS 5.5 install DVD and trying to install with software RAID1 on two 2TB SATA drives. The CentOS install only sees one drive. This is a Supermicro motherboard with fakeraid turned off in bios.

I tried the trick like so:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=64 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=64

Still no go. linux rescue console does see both sda and sdb. Whats

going on?

Well I figured that part out.

boot: linux nodmraid

Locks up on formatting file system everytime now though. Ugh.

I suspect the BIOS - see if there is any update.
