Hi,

thanks to the online version of the Software-RAID HowTo (the one that 
comes with the raidtools 0.90 is hopelessly out of date), I was able 
to build a system totally running on RAID1 volumes.

I have autodetection working, patched version of lilo that accepts 
boot=/dev/md0 and / mounted on /dev/md0.

It works it runs fine and I am already able to disable one of the two 
disks, but if this is the wrong disk, problems start...

Although lilo.raid accepts my lilo.conf and shows two parts of adding 
configs, only the first disk in the raid seems bootable.
The only sign of failure I get is a line saying "open /tmp/dev.0: No 
suitable device found" after adding the configs to the boot record of 
the second disk.

I am using the patched lilo version from RedHat 6.1 (the binary RPM, 
as the source could not be compiled due to lack of LaTex...) on a 
SuSE 6.2... could this be the problem??

Jochen
