I meant, if your root disk is ide but your /home raid is sata, I would think perhaps your sata drivers are only being loaded when discover/hotplug/whatever gets around to checking which devices needs drivers loaded, which is most likely way after mdadm runs and tries to start the raid. > Do i have to add md in /etc/modules and /etc/mkinitrd/modules or just > /etc/modules ? > > Thanks all for your help since this morning :) I would make sure the sata drivers are added to /etc/modules. That way to load early in the boot sequence, which is hopefulyl early enough for mdadm to be happy. modutils/module-init-tools runs at S20 (in rcS) whicle mdadm runs at S25. discover on the other hand runs at S36 which is to late for mdadm since it can't start the raid if the drives don't yet exist. That problably explains the md0 stopped message showing up just before the sata drives show up. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
