I've completed an installation (using another desktop machine) and removed the drive before RH9 booted for the first time (avoid configuration issues). I've also chrooted to the sysimage and installed the Generation V Cobalt Kernel rpms that are available online. Unfortunately, this appears to be all in vain as the kernel fails to load reporting the following: raid5: using function: pIII_sse (2038.000 MB/sec) md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0 IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP IP: routing cache hash table of 512 buckets, 4Kbytes TCP: Hash tables configured (established 1024 bind 1024) NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock XFS: SB read failed I/O error in filesystem ("md(9,1)") meta-data dev 0x901 block 0x0 ("xfs_readsb") error 5 buf count 512 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:01 <6>disabling network interfaces. My first guess was it's looking for the raid device md9. But even after parsing root=/dev/hda1 to both the boot and load kernel (the Cobalt doesn't have a real bios, it uses a small kernel to boot a second from what I can see) it fails "Reporting no init= ".
