Hi, I can't post exact messages now, but dmesg detects an asr "Adaptec Caching RAID", and the only disk detected (the RAID-10) is da0. As I mentioned, raidutil (from the asr utils package) keeps saying /dev/rdpti17 doesn't exist, and if I symlink asr0 -> rdpti17, the next time I run raidutil, it will erase the symlink. As I also mentioned, some posts from google mentioned symlinking /dev/rasr0 -> rdpti17, but I don't have such device. If you're talking about the SYSV-related kernel options, I have tried these and the error is the same. Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC wrote: > > On Jul 16, 2005, at 10:45 AM, M.
