RE: Power.Apps 120 & PERC3/DCL

Eduardo,

If you had a previous installation of an Operating System installed on this
Server, if you have not done so already, you will need to create a Raid
Array and then "Initialize" that Logical Drive Array you just created.  RH
Linux should now see a valid device for you to install the Operating System
too.  

Let us know if you are still having problems.

Thanks,

Jeremy Sheard

Hi Jason,

You're right, it's a megaraid add-in card PERC3/DLC.
the system has been working previously (so partition, logical drives and all
are configured). If this is what you mean by "containers" there are,
aparently in place.

The boot process of the linux installer (RH 7.2) recognises the megaraid
card during the load. but at the time I get asked for the partitioning
process the following message appears:

"an error has ocurred - no valid devices were
found on which to create new filesystems.
please check your hardware for the cause of this problem"
