Greetings, Apologies in advance for too much info. I have a machine by SuperMicro with an adaptec embedded sata that the manufacturer set to RAID 1 on two 149 GB drives. I boot the machine, wait for the configuration checker to finish looking at the array, which says the array is healthy, and then I can use the 6.2 install discs to set up the partitions and install all of the packages I choose. Everything seems fine, but then after sysinstall finishes and reboots, I get the message 'Operating System Not Found'. I can't seem to capture a dmesg output to see what I did wrong. The drives are WD caviar SE 1600 but I'm not sure what to do for the geometry. What gets reported for a geometry is 310101/16/63 and fdisk reports 19457 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors. The system has Embedded Adaptec SATA BIOS v.5 and I set the partitions as such: / 20G swap 30G /tmp 3G /home 10G /opt 40G /var 10G /boot 7 /usr 29G Thanks for any clue.
