The machine is destined to be a server, and is a virgin box, so no Windows CD's will go within 100 yards of it. Its using a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro-G motherboard, which is based on 865PE, and runs the ITE8212 raid controller. RH9 seems to have ITE raid controller support, yet when I do the installation, I get no prompts to set up my raid arrays, and RH seems to want to partition them as 2 std drives. Can anyone gimme some advice on how to do this? -------------------- A hand in the bird is worth two on the bush.

It will then make the 2 drives seem as 1 for the OS. -------------------- "I felt powerful for 5 minutes..."

It seems to need to install a driver or something to config the raid. I'm clueless at this point.
