This reminds me of the problems I had setting up a server recently which
had the dreaded Promise FastTrak100 interface on the motherboard. After
several days of enabling it and RAID, disabling RAID and various other
possibilities, I disabled it and plugged the two raid disks into the on
board IDE controller (yes I know, you shouldn't put more than on device
on each cable) and every thing worked fine. Incidentally the operating
system is on a separate disk, the raid array is only for /home.
