Your suspicion is incorrect. The array is connected to a PERC2/DC w/ 128MB
cache, and it is configured for 4 disks: RAID 5 with 1 hot spare. When I
boot it from slink, I get lots of good information listed in the sequence
under "megaraid:" that I don't get under potato. It's odd, but that's the
way it is.
