Definitely. Can you try an install based on a Fedora 7 liveCD?




I am currently downloading Fedora-7-Live-i686.iso. I will try installing it 
tonight.

Maybe the problem is really with the nVidia hardware. I used to like it but am 
seeing some bad (like more than usual for non intel products) press lately.

I'll keep you posted.

Too many variables ATM - we need to narrow it down to

 - HW/driver or a problem in how the soft RAID was setup
 - Fedora getting its panties in a knot at the sight of a soft RAID
 - Our customisations not coping with RAID




I have all mainboard raid functions disabled. I trust md. I can pull the plug 
on my CentOS webserver anytime (my power company has done so many times) and 
nothing bad ever happened.

I also have the ACPI HPET table disabled as this seems necessary to make some 
linux distros (and solaris) boot in the first place.

I haven't tried RAID or that controller.
