Comments/Problems:
I have Promise TX2000 card and 2xWD120GB drives, was hoping to install
a RAID1 array.
Install did not recognise raid hardware. Instead recognised as two
seperate ide drives. So I go with a software array.
Partition both dirves as raid drives.
Built Multi Disk array.
Partition RAID using partition guide.
Everythig OK until it finishes partitioning and then it gives a bland
error message about unable to partition and dumps me back in the
partitioning tool. No meaningful messages.
