I have been using the boot+root+raid+lilo howto as a reference for booting into raid 1 and have had a functional bootable raid 1 configuration of my own for about 18 months now: It started as a 2.2.1x configuration and was upgraded to 2.4.x when it was released. I have been trying to set up bootable raid 1 with a couple different 2.4.x kernels and when I try to boot from a kernel floppy ( to verify that the raid loads the filesystem from the md device), just as the raid starts to initialize, it fails with the message raid 32767 do not need chunk sizes! and then the boot halts. Should I be omitting chunk size arguments from the /etc/raidtab ? Just for kicks, I threw in a 2.2.18 kernel boot floppy (raid and ide patched) and I was able to get up and running and could add a device to mirror. So far so good, but I wasn't thrilled that I had to resort to an old kernel half way through the setup process to get this working. Does anybody have any ideas what I could have missed ? I have not added any ide patches to the 2.4.x kernels yet as I am not sure if they are required.
