Hi,

I'm trying to create new server and use RAID1 with motherboard Intel 
S875WP1-E. I know that it's a fake RAID but mirroring is enough for my 
purposes. What have I done:
1) updated BIOS to patch level 18 (newest)
2) added Sataraid also the newest version from Intel site
3) created array with two Samsung 80GB Sata IDE disks
4) started Tao 3 installation, and then

Installation asks drivers for disks, first it asks ata_piix driver for 
SCSI and hangs.
So I have created eg. drivers from Intel site for RH9 but when I try to 
select that, I think that installation doesn't select it or know the 
driver disk(ette). I'm also using KVM switch, might it cause some 
problems (I've read the previous emails of KVM problems), but this 
doesn't feel to be the problem.

When I get to the page where partition should be done, both automatic 
and Disk Druid will kill the installation and nothing is done.

Questions:
1) What have I done wrong or how should I continue ?
- drop that array ?
- forget the RAID1
- wait for Tao 4 to get new drivers

Please, if You have some experiences or links into the topic, You would 
make me very, very happy.

Thanks in advance,
Kari
