Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8
Version: 2.6.8-5
Severity: important
I'm testing this kernel on a machine that resently boots to 2.6.7 with
no initrd and, therefore, all drivers for boot are compiled into the
kernel. There are four drives in the array, all with type 0xfd. The
2.6.7 kernel finds them automatically. The 2.6.8 package does not,
but that isn't the issue as this device isn't needed at boot-time.
Once the kernel boots, I load the raid5 module and look at
/proc/mdstat. It looks OK. mdadm --assemble /dev/md0, however,
crashes. I haven't saved error messages, though I could write then to
a file if need be.
One of the differences here is that the 2.6.7 kernel is built for
x86. The 2.6.8 kernel was built for amd64, so it is possible that
this is an issue with 64bitness.

The 2.6.8 kernel is no longer supported by Debian so I'm closing
your bug report. Please try the 2.6.26 kernel from Debian lenny. If
this issue is still present, let me know.
Thanks.
