Precision 390 and FC5

[Russell Scott]

Thanks Garrett -
   I tried that.  No joy.  I tried forcing some of the other drive
modules into the initrd.  No joy.  Finally I did another install turning
off the harware raid controller and using a software raid set up
instead.  Works like a charm now.  It looks like the support for the
raid controller, while improving, isn't quite there yet.

Thanks again,

Rusty
