3x 1500GB HDD in RAID 5 with 3ware controller:

virtual:~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5             2.0T  647M  1.9T   1% /

/dev/sda3            1020M   34M  935M   4% /tmp

I used HOWTO: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Lenny

When system boot with PVE kernel i get:

switch_root: can't open '/dev/console' : No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I've tried also use .iso of Proxmox but when i try to intall i get:

unable to create data volume at /usr/bin/proxinstall line 577.

How it's possible to install Proxmox? Please help..

I've read: http://www.proxmox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1151

but i didn't understand how to make multiple LUNs i need to make them in BIOS of RAID controller or how should i do that with iso file if there isn't any partition manager?
