Hi!
It seems that the install.htm for both 4.62 and 4.7 has an error.  It
says:
	4.3.21. When I install onto a drive managed by a Mylex PCI RAID
controller, the system fails to boot (eg. with a read error
message).

	There is a bug in the Mylex driver which results in it ignoring
the ``8GB'' geometry mode setting in the BIOS. Use the 2GB mode
instead.

Actually, when using 2GB geometry, the install gives a "no disks found"
error.  Using 8GB geometry, install for 4.62 worked without any
problems.

Btw, the controller in question is a Mylex Acceleraid 160 (170LP) ;)

In amy case, many thanx for your help!  Bol'shoje spasibo :)
