No, I doubt that is the problem. I just tested pulling out the SRCU2-1. The BTX did not crash. I've been talking to some friends of mine, and they say that I most likely have to disable the BIOS in the controller, put the root filesystem on a SCSI device (or IDE) and mount the RAID from there. I thought RAID was supposed to be more stable than standard SCSI/IDE (all according to configuration of course)? Then what's the use if you still have to use it?
