Re-downloaded and re-burned. Same thing.

Yes, GRML live CD is identifying the drives as /dev/sdf and /dev/sdg while the BlueOnyx installer is identifying the disks as /dev/sde and /dev/sdf.

Put the disks in a Dell XPS 420 (Intel Core2 Quad) with the same result. I don't know what is going on, but the installer refuses to do RAID1.

Thanks for the help thus far,
Jeff
