It's there up to a point in CentOS 5.2, but I think not for RAID-5, at least not according to the docs I've looked at. I'd settle for booting off RAID-1 but the Intel BIOS utility won't let me configure both a small RAID-1 and the rest RAID-5 on the same bunch of discs. I see a report of a similar problem in Fedora 8 on ICH9R from November 2007, so I've stuck my oar in there too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=364901 Anyway, is this something that should be working already and I'm doing it wrong, or something that's coming soon? Cheers, John.
