Yes, the visual mode kernel config screen is part of what I'm talking = about. So I should just skip that process then? One Item I found about the setup at intels site http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/n440bx/mega_ovw.htm Regarding using zero channel raid, is that the driver for the onboard = scsi controller should not be loaded. Is it possible that the install is = sensing that controller and loading it? I am driving the RAID array from the onboard connection (no compatible connectors on the card, so I can't run = it off the card) so it is a zcr configuration. I have made sure the card = is in the proper slot as listed, and that the bios changes have been made as = well. (they were already set to those options) The NIC is a intel EtherExpress Pro/100+ but that would be a non-issue = now if the kernel config is only for legacy products. -Mike
