Hello,
I had the LSI driver loading as a module. I recompiled the kernel
and made it monolithic, put in the raid and other drivers in that way and
rebooted. It is working!
That also explains another unrelated issue.
Thanks a lot.
Dave.

Do you have the lsi fusion kernel driver installed?

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I did change the type of the
partitions on
both disks to fd linux raid autodetect. When i rebooted in to the
live CD i
gave it the mdadm -A /dev/md3 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 it found both
drives and
brought them up. I was then able to mount the array.
In my kernel config file i do have CONFIG_MD_RAID1 set to Y.
I've just tried compiling a genkernel and got the same error when i
tried to
load it. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Dave.

A couple of things when you reboot into the live cd you need to tell
mdadm
to assemble the drive /dev/md3 with the command mdadm -A /dev/md3
/dev/sda3
/dev/sdb3. As for the booting problem i think it may be that you are
missing
a driver did you put the md raid 1 driver into the kernel. Last Neil
has a
point when you ran fdisk did you change the partition type to auto
detect
raid.

Did you set the partition type to Linux RAID Autodetect (FD)?

If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.
