On a system with a on board HPT370 (Abit KG7-RAID), it will drop me to a "root device selection" if the RAID is in degraded mode. While this will generally not be a problem, it will become one if the machine gets rebooted (forcefully or not) before the dead hard disk is replaced. Currently the only way to bring the system back up is to rebuild the array from the BIOS, which will keep the machine down for the 30-45 minutes that it takes to rebuild the array. Anyone have any work arounds, or fixes for this? Thanks, Ben -- Ben Lovett -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I believe the technical term is "Oops!"
