Argh sorry for the re-postings, I got it going again (still RAID 0 w/2 500GB WD drives). Two things I realized: 1> On Asus's website, it does list something about Seagate drives not showing during booting. Now my 1.5TB did show, but it mentions about some firmware change in their new drives can cause issues for SATA-II interfaces or something. 2> The bigger issue.. so the RAID 0 is working, but with the two SATA-II drives connected, and the raid constructed to be 1TB, when I get to the partition option in 9.04 it doesn't show the one TB RAID 0 setup, but it's detecting and showing *BOTH* 500 GB drives! [x] Use the entire disk .....[x] SCSI (0,0,0) (sda) - 500.1 GB ATA WDC etc.... .....[ ] SCSI (0,0,0) (sdb) - 500.1 GB ATA WDC etc... [ ] Specify partitions manually (advanced) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm guessing maybe the BIOS/Chipset/etc may have a flaw? Or Ubuntu is seeing right past the on board RAID controller somehow?! > end quoted segment < Hmm... that one I'm not sure about, since I'm using software RAID on my box. I know that when I built the RAID manually, I did have to go in to the partition screen and select the RAID option for the installer to start the array and let me partition from the array and not just from the drives. I'm not sure if you need to do the same thing with hardware RAID. (IIRC, I had to do that both for the RAID array and for the LVM partitions that I'd built manually outside the installer.) Have you tried popping out some of the RAM to see if that workaround helped for you?
