Hi guys -
I've got a P5B-E motherboard, 3 SATA 300GB drives in RAID5. It all runs XP just fine but I cannot for the life of me get 9.04 to install to the RAID and boot.
I'm using the alternate and mdadm. When it comes to the detect drives screen it only shows 2 of the drives (should it show 3?).
I've also installed 9.04 to a single 250GB drive also attached to the MB while leaving windows installed on 1 of 3 partitions on the RAID in hopes that 9.04 would boot and then I'd have access to the RAID for storage.
For some reason I can't even boot the single drive (even when I tell the MB it is the first boot device. If I boot to the RAID first I go straight into XP.
Any help would be great.
