Comments/Problems:
I setup a RAID1 mirror (2 SAS disks each 73 GB) via the "Serial Attached SCSI BIOS"
(Fusion-MPT Serial Attached SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility from LSI).
After installation I reboot the system and I got an error message, because /dev/sdb1 was supposed to be the root partition.
I changed the boot parameter root=/dev/sdb1 to root=/dev/sda1 and it worked fine. After the first login I changed
the bootparameter root= in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst too. Reboot worked fine.
Thank's
