In the BIOS settings, all three disks were added to the controller for a RAID5 set up. When I boot from LiveCD (2008 version with 2.6.24-r5 kernel) with dmraid='-ay' option, it came up not recognizing the RAID set, as I only saw "control" under /dev/mapper. modprobe megaraid was okay, so was modprobe raid5. Under /dev, I only saw sda, but there was no sdb, sdc. So it looked like there was only one disk but the system did not recognize it as a raid set. Booting from LiveCD with dmraid='-ay' doscsi didn't help. I got the same result. If I did a dmraid -ay in bash, I got "No RAID disks". Could anyone point me to some instructions on how to make Gentoo recognize the PERC 5/i RAID controller?
