It is a normal PC (2x550PIII, 400MB ram, SCSI adaptec 2940, DPT SmartRAID V Controller, network card ...) - nothing special.

Partitions with system are on the disk on adaptec, directory for squid cache on DPT SmartRAID V Controller (raid 0 - 4 x 18 GB) I got one problem with this configuration. When I try to boot from "my self" compiled kernel (2.4.18), as first controller, linux recognize DPT, so my root partitions can not be mounted (can not find root fs etc./etc.). Booting from rh kernel gives good results: [root@bishop root]# mount /dev/sda7 on / type ext2 (rw,nosuid) none on /proc type proc (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec) /dev/sdb1 on /cache type reiserfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda8 on /tmp type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec) /dev/sda6 on /usr type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev) /dev/sda5 on /var type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec) BIOS shows good order - adaptec is the first, dpt - second. I know that i can do some workarounds with lilo but it is not good solution i think. Am i missing something ? ps. sorry for my poor english. greetz boka
