I had similar problems when I tried to use whole discs e.g. /dev/hde.
Solution was to use partiotion (one for whole disc) = /dev/hde1 with type
0xfd.

I take it all back - on the first reboot the console got all the way through
to just before starting the user interface (detecting hardware, I think) and
the system hung. 

On reboot, I am back to 'drive not ready for command' 

I have just stuck the disk drives onto a plug-in ITE8212 dual-IDE card and
now the systems boots and starts re-syncing properly so I reckon there may
be a problem with the MegaRAID drivers - is it worth me taking this further
and if so through what online channel - I guess it would go back to that
large North American Operating System vendor?
