Okay, that one. My problems started when I went to multi-user
mode, and the RAID logical volume was accessed.

I am running my collection of drives as a RAID 5, but I would
think your situation should be similiar, given the 3210S is a
faster version of the 3200S... Of course, I haven't tried to boot
my RAID, it only contains user directories.
When the Adaptec 3210S POST screen comes up, does it should
one logical disk? I trust you don't have any of the ear-piercing
alarms going off when the card performs its POST checks.
