Any tips on how to install using raid ?
I tried this morning with no sucess, so I went back to non raid.
Basically I've got a ASUS A7V133 RAID m/b with 1G ram, althon 1500XP and
two 40G
7200rpm disks. One disk on the main controller, the other on the
onboard promise controller.
Booted mandrake 9.0 disk #1, partitioned as follows:
/dev/hda1 256M - /boot [ext2]
/dev/hda2 24G - added to md0
/dev/hda3 1G swap
/dev/hds4 reat - addes to md1
/dev/hde1 256M - /tmp [reiserfs]
/dev/hde2 24G - added to md0
/dev/hde3 1G swap
/dev/hde4 reat - addes to md1
md0 is mode 0 /
md1 is mode 1 /home
Installed mandrake, went fine, rebooted, failed !
Initially because I had 1G ram it used enterprise kernel, removed 512M
of RAM, reinstalled,
failed at reboot....
If raidtab is on /etc how does bootloader/kernel know about md0 & md1.
Fails to load
Tried a couple of times with no luck
o should I boot from the second install CD ?
o Do I need the enterprise kernel ?
o Should /etc be on /dev/hde1 [ext2] rather than /tmp?
