 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 :)
