I'm sorry, the "it" in question is getting the system to boot from raid, not getting initrd to work. > Here's what I have, in case anybody wants to do that.

That's one of the avenues of things to try that I gave up on when I decided I had spent way too much time on this problem. However, I really don't like giving up like that. So: what do you mean by "disable IDE completely", and how do I do it? > I am currently running the stock RH8 kernel with a driver for the > Adaptec card running as a module, but I have a kernel that I compiled > with the SCSI driver and RAID compiled in. Any takers? Yes, you're right. My /boot/grub/grub.conf has stuff in it about initrd. I don't know how it can be used to make the system boot from raid, though. If there's some simple way to use lilo to make the system boot from scsi raid, I'll be happy to switch to it.
