Can confirm this with a fresh installation from daily/20070301/feisty-
server-amd64.iso.
Setup:
- only one disk
- md0 raid1 mounted as / (/dev/sda1 + other mirror missing, the installation ui
actually permits this)
- md1 raid1 unused (/dev/sda3 + other mirror missing)
On the first boot I got to the initramfs prompt, with only md1 active:
mdadm: No devices listed in conf file were found.
stdin: error 0
Usage: modprobe ....
mount: Cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
mount: Mounting /root/dev ... failed
mount: Mounting /sys ... failed
mount: Mounting /proc ...failed
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs)
Second try gave the same prompt, but now md0 was active. However, it
didn't boot:
(initramfs) cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0]
15623104 blocks [2/1] [U_]
Finally, on the third try, it booted (well, got some warnings about
missing /dev/input/mice or something like that, but that's not the point
here).
Now I'm just sticking with / as a normal partition (+ others like /home
as raid1). I'm hoping that the migration to raid1 goes fine after this
problem has been fixed.
