What do people here think? I had a somewhat similar problem, the cause of which turned out to be that I didn't have /dev/md* in my initrd. Building a new initrd with mkinitrd fixed the problem. You can mount your initrd images as filesystems to quickly see what's in them, by using the "cramfs" filesystem type and the "loop" option: mkdir -p /mnt/initrd mount -o loop -t cramfs /path/to/initrd.img /mnt/initrd I also found these guides very useful for setting up RAID with grub: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/mailing-list/2003-07/1270.html http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/238 ----Scott. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
