At "asr0: major=154" the raid card begins a high pitched beep indicating that two of the drives have failed and that a rebuild of the raid is required, but we've tested all of the drives and replaced the raid card with a new one, and still get the same problem. The reason I'm asking about possible software issues is that other OS's have worked on this raid setup. Thanks.
