RAID worked fine under TSL2.1, including auto detect on boot.
After upgrading to TSL2.2, running kernel 2.4.29, I don't get an "md: autorun ..." after it's just found a controller card that might (in fact, does) contain a valid RAID. The partitions are still type "0xfd".
I can then use mdadm to assemble the array and everything works fine.
The controller card is a bit odd and the drivers aren't in the kernel yet, but it does get detected on boot and has been very reliable. I've tried both the latest driver version and the version I used with TSL2.1 - no change. I had to add "-fno-stack-protector" to get them to compile under TSL2.2.
Anyway, the problem is not that the kernel "tries and fails" to detect the RAID - it just doesn't even try?
I can't find anything via google, or Usenet, or the kernel list about this. I can't find anything which turns this on/off in the kernel.
Is it just me or is it a Trustix thing?
Is this sort of thing working for anyone else?
I just don't know what else to try?
