I believe the kernel raid1 autodetection only works if raid1 is compiled into the kernel. In anycase, initrd images generated from mkinitrd in Debian do not autodetect. IIRC, There is a parameter to mdadm (--scan?) that could be used for this, but when I asked the initrd maintainer I was given a good reason why it was not used (sorry; I can't remember what this was now; it might simply be that the mdadm code is unreliable, inefficient, or buggy). -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
