Hi there Marty,
Yes I do definitely have some problems. I have not set the partitions to
fd. I am not too sure how to do this properly. I have tried with fdisk,
but if I put in fd it says unknown file type. How can I set my
partitions to fd? I have had raid running by setting the current boot
partition to failed and the second disk as active. When I reboot it
dosn't want to work. The other thing that I have noticed is after I get
the kernel panic error, if I do the ctrl-alt-del I do see a message
saying stopping all md devices. (or something like that) I believe that
this would mean that the raid is loading up at boot time. I have
configured this in the ramdisk.
Thanks Again,
Dave
