Please verify that your > disk controller is being properly loaded at boot time". If you boot into 'Live CD' rather than the installer, can you still see the drives in /dev ? If so, you should be able to go ahead and install the system manually -- it takes a little knowledge of some of the low level management commands, but it isn't particularly difficult. If you wanted to use ZFS for instance, you'ld have to do a manual install anyhow, and there are many recipes around the web. If the drives appear in the dmesg output and then disappear that's a whole different kettle of fish. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
