Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2002-03-13 22:28:56 UTC
Did you previously have any raid partitions on this system?

Comment 4 Shivram Enjeti 2002-03-15 15:26:29 UTC
Your question was: +Did you previously have any raid partitions on this system?

Answer: No. 



Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2002-04-10 18:41:43 UTC
Can you attach the entire traceback?  This is only the beginning bits, and for
some reason, a raid partition is trying to be registered although there are no
raid partitions defined in your kickstart config.  With the full traceback, I
can try to figure out where the RAID partition definition is coming from
