Severity: important
Tags: patch
I use RAID disks, including the root partition. Thus I used and initrd image to
boot correctly.
However, when I use mkinitrd from the initrd-tools, it fails to boot because it
doesn't find the root partition,
because mkinitrd uses devfs (and obviusly, I don't have devfs in the 2.6
kernel).
I send a patch that works fine for me (and it should work for everybody). The
patch could be better, concretaly
the part that detects other RAID partitions:
- Don't copy /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, just generate it with some like:
echo "DEVICES partitions" > $INITRD/$MDADMCONF
mdadm -D --scan >> $INITRD/$MDADMCONF
- Moreover, with the information generated with those commands, read the
devices needed for
"automatic" adition to the initrd (echoes them to >&4).
Thanks a lot and sorry about my poor english.
P.D.: The patch:

These bugs are fixed in initrd-tools, but were not closed because the
previous upload was listed as an NMU. The changelog of the upload in
question was as follows:
initrd-tools (0.1.80) unstable; urgency=3Dhigh
* Sven Luther
- Let's add the keyboard input modules on powerpc. (Closes: #264839)
* Maximilian Attems
- Be less noisy when unloading modules. The errors are harmless,
beside initrd shouldn't load that bunch of modules.
Fix makes bootup less "scary" for kernels > 2.6.8.
- Fix boot when using raid root with non devfs kernels.
Closes: #284763, #269726, #305145, #299103
- Warn if root device is not found. Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the pat=
ch.
Closes: #283919
- Don't try mount a block device for nfs root. thanks Alex Owen
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the patch. Closes: #307471
- Resynchronise with Ubuntu:
Integrate bits needed for RESUME support. thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
