Hi there:
My raid1 is running fine on /dev/hda(boot disk) and
/dev/hdc.
;;Modified /etc/lilo.conf(Add one section for
initrd.raid.img)
Two cmds issued:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd.raid1.img --with raid1
2.2.12-20
lilo -v ;;No warning.
Then, power down, remove /dev/hdc, power up.
/dev/hda is able to boot up. /proc/mdstat indicates
it's running on partitions from /dev/hda only.
Everything works as expected.
(Partitions on /dev/hda and /dev/hdc are symmetrical)
But if raid1 is running and /dev/hdc is boot disk,
with same steps repeated
I can't boot up. I see "01 01 01 ..." continuously
running on screen.
Same steps means the following:
Modified /etc/lilo.conf from previous operation(from
/boot/lilo.conf in /dev/hda, except "hda" was
replaced by "hdc".)
Two cmds issued:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd.raid1.img --with raid1
2.2.12-20
lilo -v ;; get warning saying /dev/hdc is not the
first disk.
Then, power down, remove /dev/hda, power up.
Can't boot up!!
What am I missing here?
Is "lilo -v" the problelm?
Any help is appreciated.
J.
