Hi Mark, i really think it could be an issue of naming... As if i boot from the install-cd the raid-drives are named md124 - md127 and /dev/md/livecd:1 - /dev/md/livecd:4. I installed a kernel with genkernel and its corresponding initramfs, but after booting i get the same errors. starting the busybox shows the /dev/md3 but i cant mount it in any way. regards, Jens
