 glynadgie : 23/09 05:28 : Incident created Problems with 
raid0 on Mandrake 9 rc3.

When installing Mandrake 9 rc3, with the root filestem on 
/dev/md0, the system fails to boot, as the raid was not 
started. The problem is due to an incorrect initrd.img.

I fixed this problem by unpacking and mounting the 9rc3 
initrd.img, and comparing it with initrd.img on a working 8.2 
system with the same raid configuration.

As far as I recall, linuxrc needs two lines to load the 
raid0.o module, and mount the initial root filesystem on 
/safedev/md0. Device /safedev/md0 needs to be created. The 
raid0.o module needs to be copied into /lib on the image.

After creating, gzipping, and installing the edited 
initrd.img, everything works fine.

I also noted that /etc/raidtab was wrong, though I did not 
keep a copy. I copied raidtab from the working system.

Please forward this to the relevant person at Mandrake 
cooker. Thanks.
