I grabbed the 2.2.14 tarball, and Ingo's patch this morning, and compiled up
a copy of 2.2.14 because I wanted to test the read balancing patch against
the stock 2.2.14 with Ingo's patch (they're not integrated yet, are they?).
The patch applied cleanly, and I compiled the kernel with all of the proper
options (AFAICT). When I try to boot with the new kernel, I get:
md.c: sizeof(m_super_t) = 4096 <cr>
Autodetecting RAID Arrays <cr>
Autorun... <cr>
...autorun done. <cr>
Bad md_map in ll_rw_block isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=09:01,
iso_blknum=16, block=32 <cr>
kernel panic: VFS: unable to open root fs on 09:01 <cr>
A three finger salute at this point will get a "stopping all md devices" and
a reboot. Seems that 09:01 is /dev/md1.
Here's lilo.conf and raidtab. I'm running an install of RH61 that was
installed onto a mirror.
