Hey Guys,
I am having a similar problem and not having much luck getting it to work
either. I followed through the suggestions listed previous and am not getting
anywhere.
This is where I am at. I did a install with the 2.6 kernel on a system with a
60 gig drive (/dev/hda) set as my root and swap. I have 4 120 gig drives set up
in a RAID5 (/dev/hde, /dev/hdg, /dev/hdi, /dev/hdk). I had the same problem
where I would get it set up, and it would fail on reboot.
I just tried the dpgk-reconfigure mdadm, and it failed saying that it could
only find hde and hdg! So I looked, Debian is seeing all the drives
(/proc/ide). All of the drives are listed as being setup for RAID. The
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf have been setup as demonstrated earlier in the thread. If
I try to mount the drives as individual drives, it has no problems whatsoever.
Just doesn't like to see them when I set them up as RAID5.
I have been going slightly insane these past few days trying to figure out why
it can see all the drives but will not when I try to mount it as RAID5. I am
not certain what to do next...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
