Nice problem report. I wish everybody posted with the level of detail that you have.

Might make a difference. 2) This applies to only some drivers, I do not know if the Compaq RAID driver is one of them. Some drivers are limited to 7 partitions. So make the first three partitions primary (1 2 and 3). 4 will be an extended partition. Then you have room for three more (5 6 and 7). One of those needs to be swap. Blue skies...
