I am running a SuperMicro P4SCi motherboard with dual SATA drives, configured as RAID mirrors. If this is a SCSI driver, as I suspect it is, there shouldn't any need to load it, since my box does not run SCSI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert boot CD 2. Start installer 3. Wait Actual Results: Boot process hangs Expected Results: It should keep running. Additional info:
Ping. Is this really a kernel issue?

In the BIOS, when I enable the RAID configuration, it forces me into "enhanced mode". I spoke with the Super Micro technical support, and they ensured me that when you turn on RAID, it disables "combined mode". Any other ideas? Thanks, Norman
I am having the same issue with the SuperMicro board and RedHat ES 3. I have contacted SuperMicro, and the only information they have given me is that the driver does not exist for RedHat ES, and Adaptec only has a beta driver available.
