Hi,

  I'm trying to install 4.0-RELEASE on a COMPAQ Proliant 1850R
with the root disk on a SMART-2SL raid controller. The install
works perfectly, but boot/loader fails to load the kernel.

  Booting "kernel" fails with 'Don't know how to load module
"/kernel"', and boot kernel.GENERIC fails for unknown reasons.
(It loads partly, but then falls back to the loader).

  Is there an easy way to get this to work, or do I need to
start thinking about adding a seperate root disk?

Thanks,

- marcel
