Then changing >lilo.conf to have the new root device of /dev/rd/c0d0p1, it comes up with "cp -R" can/will screw some things up for you. I'd suggest using "cp -av" when you want to copy a whole filesystem and still have it work properly on the other end. Specifically you can expect "cp -R" to break file permissions, file ownership and symbolic links. IMHO you should compile your Mylex driver directly into your kernel and then not worry about creating/using an initial ramdisk 'cause you don't need one. The only reason to use a module for the driver is if you cannot get a copy of it as source code, or if you honestly expect the system not to be using the RAID device most of the time (if your root filesystem is on it, that seems unlikely). -- Who is this General Failure, and why is he reading my hard disk? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
