We had some difficulties recently with a dual-Xeon
based server that used a add-in Intel Raid Controller
(SRCZCR). RAID-5.

We have been using SI 3.15 successfully on several
projects but this problem stumped us. We burned
several days and then gave up and used Ghost (ug!).

Everything goes well until the very end of the
download. The systemconfigurator has issues with some
of the probing and the install script exits with a
failure warning. Booting the box results in a kernel
panic but most or all of the files system is clearly
on the drive. We focused on the whole booting process
and grub but never resolved it.

Now that the project is out the door I'm going to try
and replicate the same thing with an Adaptec Raid
controller that we have and see if it acts the same.

BTW, in addition to this problem, we had to install
WinXP-Pro in order to setup a Ghost server. WinXP
didn't like the Intel Raid either. And, after building
the raid drive we periodically found that our BIOS
settings (boot priority) had been changed back to
default. The raid card was spec'd by the customer not
us.
Any suggestions.
David
