At a dead stop now.

Same problem I had last time, the triad of VIA chipset, Linux and the LSI RAID controler doesn't work, even though this motherboard is a 64-bit. Hangs at loading the MegaRAID SCSI driver. SATA seems to be the hang-up because last time I just went back to a pre-SATA chipset and it worked fine. Don't have that option with the 64-bit boards so I've ordered a motherboard with the nVidia chipset. Hope that works. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

What planet are we on? Are you on the same one? Of course not. But I have never had good luck with anything MegaRAID (LSI or AMI revisions) -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

Now just as a test I did try the older "unstable" media set I'd used the previous time (which did install on a non-SATA VIA chipset but not the SATA one) to see if there was a difference, but no - no difference. LSI firmware flashed with latest version from last month, too - a year more recent than the flash for the previous install (which did fix one VIA problem that would affect all operating systems).
