Hi folks, I'm using Debian GNU/Linux "squeeze/sid" with Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem were my two harddisks are configured in Software RAID (aka faikraid). Because faikraid did not work for me especialy since udev version 158 where /dev/mapper/pdc_* are symlinked to /dev/dm-* nodes I tried myself in coding GRUB and fixed all my issues with the applied patches (based on 1.98 bzr 20100710 as provided by Debian; 1.98+20100710-1).
1) zcat bossekr-mdraidorlvm.patch.gz | patch -p1 2) zcat bossekr-fakeraid.patch | patch -p1 The solution was to improve the support for /dev/dm- device nodes. Greetings, Raphael Bossek Here some additional information about my setup: $ cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem root=UUID=081cf388-6820-4843-a4d5-9f0d4be424ef ro quiet splash $ cat /proc/self/mountinfo 14 19 0:0 / /sys rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - sysfs none rw 15 19 0:3 / /proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - proc none rw 16 19 0:5 / /dev rw,relatime - devtmpfs none rw,size=2064088k,nr_inodes=212971,mode=755 17 16 0:11 / /dev/pts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime - devpts none rw,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 19 1 254:3 / / rw,relatime - ext4 /dev/disk/by-uuid/081cf388-6820-4843-a4d5-9f0d4be424ef rw,errors=remount-ro,barrier=1,data=ordered 20 19 0:15 / /lib/init/rw rw,nosuid,relatime - tmpfs tmpfs rw,mode=755 21 16 0:16 / /dev/shm rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime - tmpfs tmpfs rw 23 19 0:17 / /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rw,relatime - rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 24 14 0:18 / /sys/fs/fuse/connections rw,relatime - fusectl fusectl rw 25 15 0:19 / /proc/fs/nfsd rw,relatime - nfsd nfsd rw 26 15 0:20 / /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw $ ls -1l /dev/mapper/ crw------- 1 root root 10, 59 Jul 14 12:56 control lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 14 12:56 pdc_fcgchefh -> ../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 14 12:56 pdc_fcgchefh1 -> ../dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 14 12:56 pdc_fcgchefh2 -> ../dm-2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 14 12:56 pdc_fcgchefh3 -> ../dm-3 $ ls -1l /dev/dm-* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 14.
