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 :) ______________________________ Mario R.
