Hi,
I've seen at least one report of 6.1 being run successfully on a Dell
PowerEdge 1950 with a PERC 5/i controller using SAS RAID.
I can install 6.1 without any problems but when it comes to boot from
the RAID array, kernel cannot be found by the loader.
What am I missing?

I will also note that it is not an issue of compatibility between
the LSI-provided MegaCli and the Dell PERC5/i. I use the exact same
