@ -383,11 +383,4 @@ A: There is a problem with the onboard Ethernet in the Netfinity 3500
will have to install another Ethernet adapter and avoid attempting
to configure the onboard adapter at any time.
Q: When I install to my AMI RAID controller and reboot, the kernel
cannot mount root, even though the AMI controller was detected.
A: On some systems, the AMI controller doesn't work as the driver expects
when it has been booted from. This results in the array being
unreadable. The only current workaround is to boot from another disk.
