This was the first of the thread. This is a new install, so nothing to lose. Centor 6.4 doesn't find the drives. I use Ctrl E, to open the raid console but it doesn't have an option to disable. So each time it boots I get the raid init. Not sure how you tell if it's FakeRaid. It is using LSI drivers. I think what I want to do is stop the raid and use Centos management. But can't find where to stop the raid. There may be a better solution, but what I've read so far says to disable the on board raid.
