CentOS - May 2007 - CentOS 4.4 Installation on Dell poweredge 2900 raid 1 + raid 5 fail

Hi All,


I install CentOS 4.4 without additional driver disk.
When I partition the disk, I create nothing on the raid 5, and I just create
" / " " /boot " and "swap" on the raid 1.

And  it works.

When I create a mount point /storage on the raid 5 and  create " / "
" /boot
" and "swap" on the raid 1.

The error comes again, saying that there are inconsistency on the raid
/dev/sdb1

What should I do?

Regards,
Fung

Not sure what you can do, other than ensuring that the BIOS of your 
motherboard and RAID controller are current. Perhaps others may be of more 
assistance.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? Are you using hardware raid or 
software?

I have completed both C4.4 and C5 installs on 2 separate PE2950's.
In both cases, I used the hardware raid controller with 3 drives in 
raid5 with no problems. I would recommend using the hw-raid controller 
as the support seems pretty good.
