My comment.

My installer may not work on your server, and if it doesn't buy me an 
identical server, and I will be happy to make it work :-)

It honestly boils down to this.  I am but 1 person, with a vastly poor 
collection of hardware.  I have 1 server, and do all of my testing on 
VMWare.

I can not test this CD on every single hardware platform out there, 
nor do I ever intend to.  If you do not like that, I am honestly 
sorry.  Send me a couple of thousand to buy the hardware!  I have had 
roughly 4000 downloads of my v4.5 ISO, and I would say roughly 98% of 
them have had zero issues.

Yes, there will be issues with hardware RAID.  Why?  My guess is that 
since it is installed via a Kickstart file, it doesn't detect RAID 
hardware properly.  Can I fix it?  No, I can NOT.  Why can't I?  I do 
not own every piece of hardware out there, nor do I know how to tell 
the kick start file to scan for everything.  If someone wants to do 
some serious work on building kickstarts, send them my way, I will be 
happy to add them.

As it states on my site, if you want "XYZ" piece of hardware to work, 
donate it to me.  But, do not expect it back.

There's my comment! and I am sticking to it!
