My server will not boot off the hard drive

I had 3 sci hard drives to go out. (I have 6 sci hard drives total) I replaced them and then rebuilt the raid. I reinstalled my linux operating system and now when it boots up it wants to boot from a floppy and does not recognize the hard drives.

Could this mean that my controller is bad?

I have a IBM server model 8671 series 328 (6ax)

I have went to the IBM site and the only thing I found was the support for the raid which I downloaded.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

So we rebuilt the raid array re-installed the OS, and it won't boot from hard drives now.


Are we sure we got the drivers installed and compiled for the OS so it could recognize the raid?

are yuo sure the bootstrap got loaded properly, this screams LILO/MILO wasn't reinstalled.

I'm not sure exactly what LILO/MILO is, doing some word searches right now.

I'll get back with you asap.


Thanks again!
