During the installation the Promise box was seen as the first drive (sda) and the internal RAID 1 was seen as the second drive (sdb). But after reboot they were swapped, so I used a rescue CD to change sdb to sda in menu.lst. Then I got a tougher error: The system hangs during boot. Not even Control-Alt- Delete has any effect: A hard reset is needed. These are the last few lines on the console: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INIT: version 2.86 booting Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd.
