LILO for RAID1

2000-07-26 Thread Gabor Z. Papp
Hello all, what is the correct root/boot LILO config option for RAID1? (root fs on raid) Seems boot=/dev/md0 and root=/dev/md0 OK, but LILO can't boot only when I issue manually the 'kernel root=/dev/md0'

Hello, Does anyone have a patch that will patch properly for 2.2.16? I've looked on kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha but found only 2.2.12 patches and nothing later. Thank you. -reid

I used Ingo's patch from http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raid-patches/raid-2.2.16-A0 and it built without issue. There is also a 2.2.17 patch that applies cleanly against the Alan Cox's 2.2.17pre13 code for me. -Nic Benders On Wed, 26 Jul 2000, Reid Sutherland wrote: Does anyone have

Title: OT: Kernel Management I've been wanting to mess around with the latest 2.4 kernels and RAID, but one thing that I just don't understand/know about the whole compiling the kernel is this: How do you manage the System.map file that resides in /boot on RedHat systems? I have no problems

I am sure each individual has their own style for rolling kernels, but on redhat systems my preference is after running "make config", edit the Makefile. I tweekt the "EXTRAVERSION" variable towards the top so I can have multiple kernels/module versions of the same revision (ex 2.2.16-1

Raid developers question

2000-07-26 Thread Art
Dear Raiders, I installed a 2.2.16 kernel over my Suse 6.3 (2.2.13) and patched them with raid-2.2.16-A0.txt. Installation of the raidtools-19990824-0.90.tar.gz , which is by the way the same as raidtools-dangerous-0.90-2116.tar.gz (I checked, but maybe not good enough), was a piece of cake.
