When you moved the drive to a different controller it's name would have changed. I would probably need a little more information but basically if the drive was /dev/hda and you moved it to another controller it could be something like /dev/hdg If you can still boot to a root partition or with the Debian rescue disk try this... 1 boot to Debian rescue install but don't start the installation 2 hit and activate the terminal there 3 #cat /proc/partitions 4 see if you can see the partition that your new raid device is on (check sizes etc) 5 reboot to boot cd but instead of going into the install type 6 rescue root=/dev/hd(whatever you found in /proc/partitions) if you don't find the drive in /proc/partitions than you will need to load the driver for the ide raid card. Ask again later if you don't know how to do that and you have this problem.
