I'd go the VMWare ESX3i way if I were in your shoes. It's an amazing
platform that will allow you to use more of the obscene power of that
box. Running Endian on it is a little like using an F-350 Super Duty as
a commuter car.

hahaha .... Thanks for that, mike. Though I agree with most of the
suggestions posted so far, the fact is that I am now stuck with this
server. Unfortunately, the company have put their trust on me to get
this to work.
If there is no other way for me to get Endian 2.2 RC3 to work on this
server, I might suggest swapping the server with the MySQL server, which
is running on a Dell PowerEdge 850 (same machine as the current working
Endian Firewall 2.1).
So far, the replies I received are alternatives rather than a fix.
1) Disable hardware RAID and use software RAID if that work
2) Use VMWare/Xenware
Looking at the dump, I think Mike is correct to say that the mptsas
module is the cause but then I am no expert. Anyway, unless someone has
any valid solution to actually fix this, I will follow the majority of
the ppl and agree that its simply not possible to install Endian 2.2 RC3
on this server. Thanks to everyone who posted their
opinions/suggestions.

Allie Syadiqin

Software Raid setup is in the install Wizard so it's not that bad.
