I've installed debian 3.0 ppc on my IBM b50 machine , and everything is working fine. My last step is to implement a software raid drive on root partition. i'm running a 2.4.24 kernel compiled whith lvm and raid support. I've configured /etc/raidtab create the raid with mkraid,formatted and mounted /dev/md0 copied all the os files in there ,configured yaboot and fstab to start with root=/dev/md0 and make mkofboot -v . But when i try to reboot the machine hung up , and even if i try to boot from openfirmware with my zimage on a diskette generated always whit kernel 2.4.24 with raid support (>0 boot floppy:,zimage root=/dev/md0 console=ttyS0) i got this message in console: obviously if i boot from another partition not in raid, everything is working fine.
