I installed (finally!) RH 7.3 using the XFS boot disk. Unfortunately, the system won't start. It boots to a black screen and just sits there so I've got some questions. I did check the XFS notes and did NOT have to apply the patch. I could use the ISO as is. Also, I put GRUB on the MBR.
The system is a dual AMD 1.9 system with an Adaptec 3210S RAID adapter and I'm running RAID 5 on it.
1. I made all the partitions XFS - I assume that's not a problem??
Not at all.  That's how all of my servers are setup.

2.  Any ideas on where to look or how to fix it.
Don't use grub?  I always use LILO and never have a problem.


3. During the install it wanted a formatted floppy - is it asking for ext2 floppy or just a formatted floppy straight out of the box? It never would accept the floppy I gave it which was straight out of the box.
That's an installer bug. THe XFS kernel is too big to fit on a 1.44 formatted floppy.
