Your drive controller, RAID modules etc should be compiled into the kernel, otherwise the RAID won't be detected until after the modules are loaded, which is after root is mounted. That will only work if / is not on RAID. Putting the relevant modules in the kernel works for me, and they have to be working before anything but the kernel is loaded because I have root=/dev/md1 in GRUB's kernel line. -- Neil Bothwick If such a program has not crashed yet, it is waiting for a critical moment before it crashes. -- Murphy's Computer Laws n�6
