Solution was to use partiotion (one for whole disc) = /dev/hde1 with type 0xfd. -- Sincerely Ivo Panacek _______________________________________________ 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?
