Hi, I played with root on raid0 on a ppc64 pseries box. The bootloader yaboot seems to be buggy and it corrupts the initrd.
The kernel itself tries the filesystems compiled into the kernel, of course, that fails because root=/dev/md0 and raid0.o is not yet loaded. All other filesystems return with error, jfs seems to oops the kernel. Well, you are dead anyway in this stage, but ... :) 2.4.19 JFS development version: $Name: v1_0_23 $ TCP: Hash tables configured (established 131072 bind 65536) IPv4 over IPv4 tunneling driver NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
