One thing that comes to mind, as I read below, is that it appears you
setup the drives for RAID 1. Then you transplanted to them to a RAID 5
controller. "Of course" the partition data will be wrong. The hidden
blocks the two RAID controllers use are probably different and the
method of storage for RAID 5 is quite different from that used by RAID 1.
(Worse yet, you may have managed to hose the drives so that any data
on them is gone.)

Hi Kevin and thanks for repplyng, sysinstall does not crach at all, the
problem is that the information is not retain by the label. I keep getting
that contact "Disk Geometry" error when I try fdisk into the volume/drive.
Any ideas what is happening. let me know what other information you may need
to assist me further.

We'd probably need some more information. Does sysinstall crash?
Does the fdisk information get written to disk anyway? The label?
