Hmmm ... do you know anything about this hardware ?

Well, i tried to mount the partitions "by hand" in a running SuSE system which is a bit similar to RedHat.
But the partition table seemed so strange i could only mount /dev/hda1 or /dev/hdc1 of the two drives.
Have you made any experiences concerning this?
Ok, i think i'll try it with a RedHat 6.2, maybe there are some major differences i didn't recognize.
