The easy solution is to set up your software raid in the RH 7.3 install. Just choose to manually partition and create the RAID.<br />

Is there some reason that you have to use 7.3? Even though all of the RedHat releases have gone end of life and are no longer supported by RedHat RH 9 or Fedora would be a better choice.

Yeah thing is I was trying to set it up on an existing Linux installation. &nbsp;I'll try the driver approach.

I am running redhat 7.3, dual xeon, supermicro X5DPL, two cheetah ultra320, adaptec scsi adapter. I am trying to setup a software-raid by first running linux rescue. &nbsp;However when I run linux rescue it doesnt detect the scsi adapter. &nbsp;It goes through and says no hard drives were detected. &nbsp;However if I boot the cpu without the rescue CD, it boots just fine and detects the adapter and both drives. &nbsp;I also ran tomsrbt which is linux on a floppy, it searched for scsi but returned 0 hosts. &nbsp; I am beginning to think this is a bios thing or I need to load more firmware for the motherboard. &nbsp;Has any one else had this issue ? Are there any boot options to define the adapter ?

linux rescue does not detect scsi drives

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
