Hi! I encountered an error while trying to install RH6.1/6.2 on devices connected to the Mylex DAC960PRL PCI RAID Controller. The error happens after performing the "post install configuration..." I think it is failing in the process of performing the swriteboot to the device name /dev/rd/c0d0p2. Also aboot.conf never gets created. If I use RH6.0 it works fine, because it doesnt do the swriteboot. Also if I update from RH6.0 to RH6.1 or RH6.2, the update also fails with same error message. During an update no need to do the swriteboot. ------------------------------------------------------ System device Configuration: COMPAQ AlphaServer DS10 466 MHz Console V5.7-8, Apr 12 2000 11:20:07 >>>>>>show dev dqa0.0.0.13.0 DQA0 COMPAQ CDR-8435 0013 dra0.0.0.115.0 DRA0 3 Member RAID 5 dva0.0.0.0.0 DVA0 ewa0.0.0.9.0 EWA0 08-00-2B-86-75-9C ewb0.0.0.11.0 EWB0 08-00-2B-86-75-9F pka0.7.0.17.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7 5.57 ----------------------------------------------------- DAC960PRL PCI RAID Controller Setup: DAC960: ***** DAC960 RAID Driver Version 2.2.5 of 23 January 2000 ***** DAC960: Copyright 1998-2000 by Leonard N.
