hi philippe...
unfortunately... i didnt keep that lilo.conf setup
or raidtab... ( nothng fancy in it )
- i did NOT change it from the rh-7.1 install
- during your install be sure to select /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1 and
'linux-raid" for filesystem type for your / partition
( NOT default ext2 fs type )
== you need to be able to login into your system.... somehow...
--
-- unfortunately...i dont know how you can do that
-- since yu have root-raid and lilo did NTO work for you
--
-- see if you can boot single user mode off of floppy (
-- ( hope you made one )
--
-- you will most likely, have to re-install your root-raid
-- and MAKE a booot floppy when it asks you !!!
--
- your /etc/raidtab should be something like...( key points )
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
device /dev/hda1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdb1
raid-disk 1
.....
- your /etc/fstab ( key points )
/ /dev/md0
( and in my case .. more stuff )
/tmp /dev/md1
/var /dev/md2
/usr /dev/md3
/opt /dev/md4
- your /etc/lilo.conf ( key points )
...
boot=/dev/hda1
....
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2
...
root=/dev/hda1
...
than rerun lilo
have fun
alvin
== i suppose i can try to build a suse-7.2(?) root raid and see
if it works... over the weekend...
