Should I assume that you've rebooted, and gone into the PERC setup, and examined the drives? I know that on boxed I've got with PERC controllers, if I want to offer a partition from a single, non-RAIDed drive, I have to create a logical drive as though it would be RAIDed. Is it possible that /boot is *not* RAIDed? mark
