You can circumvent the problem entirely by always specifying the disk geometry and the bios # you use to boot from. This is particularly useful because not all systems automatically boot from the next available device and some systems will not boot at all from device 0x81. Most, but not all scsii sub-systems will do this however if the failed 1st disk does not answer the scsi bus probe. The simplest solution it to pretend you do not have a raid aware LILO and do it the old way as outlined in the b+r+r+lilo howto Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
