I've been running Mandrake for over a year on an old Dell P133 server, on
my home network. This system has a single processor on a dual motherboard,
2 4 GB SCSI disks and a SCSI CD. I decided it was about time to migrate it
to e-smith, so backed up my data and started off. I decided to use the
mirroring option at installation time, and generally it all went smoothly
until the system completed the first stage process and rebooted. It failed
with a kernel panic, and I realized this was because it seemed to have
booted the Mandrake 2.2.14 kernel instead of the 2.2.16 in 4.1.2. I booted
off the floppy I'd created during the installation, and it came up cleanly.
Now, I've done several e-smith installs, and I know it blows away the
previous partition tables. This is, however, the first time I've tried with
RAID 0. Can anyone explain what happened, and what I can do to fix it so I
won't have to boot off floppy again? One other point - I noticed that I
seem to be lacking a fair amount of my 4 GB - /dev/md1 is about 2 GB,
/dev/md0 is 15 MB and the swap partition is 256 MB. Surely the RAID 0
overhead is not this high?
I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks,
Des Dougan
