    Les your fix is to re-install f7 as the first best fix or 2. buy two 
more new hard drives. Both are very time consuming and the new hard 
drive sounds best.

    The real good paper I got from Jeffrey is 7 pages long and it does 
cover the whole thing. But I do not know the module name for the RAID-1 
and that is critical because the kernel right now does not load that 
module. I know how to make it load but you do need the name :-)
