Hello list,
We have Red Hat 7.2 , kernel 2.4.9-34 from up2date.
I need to boot the machine somehow, because there is a problem with /dev/sda1, which is in software mirror with /dev/sdd1 (/dev/md1). The box still boots up, but refuses to boot if i remove the /dev/sda, even if i put /dev/sdd as 1st hard disk.
I try to create boot diskette with 'mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.4.9-34', it finishes with "insufficient space on diskette" message. Seems the kernel is too big...
The mirror was created during the installation and mounted as / (We don't have /boot filesystem). I feel, that here was my mistake.
I thought i could remove the faulty disk, boot from diskette and reconstruct /dev/sda1 from mirror. But now i am pretty confused, and have absolutely no idea how to explain to the client why it is impossible to replace a faulty mirrored disk....
Any kind of assistance would be kindly appreciated.
