I?m trying to install RedHat Linux 6.1 as a mail server. The server that I works on have RAID 1 hard disks. But every time I start the installation process it gets stuck at the formatting of the swap partition. Any helpful hint, as soon as possible.

Waht kind of RAID card/device do you use ? It could be interesintg to know in order to see if it?s supported. Have you tried to install it under RH 7.1 ?

Are you running hardware or software raid? I am running a RH7.1 server with RAID-1 (software raid). It is real easy to setup within disk druid on the install - just follow the instructions.
Otherwise, the HOWTO documents on RAID are quite good (I've only looked at the SOFTWARE RAID one - because that's what I setup).
Whether you are using software or hardware raid, I would use RH7.1 rather than 6.1. There are a lot of improvements in the way it installs.

Mike.
