I got the root raid working (using James Lewis recipie [sic]) and am able to reboot fine. I must confess to a very limited understanding of lilo, so I followed that part of the instruction rather blindly.
When I reboot, it always looses the "original" root partition. I have attached some output from the messages log that may help someone tell me what the heck I'm missing.
I'm running kernel 2.2.10 (patched of course) with the matching tools and the failed disk patch. After boot if I run raidhotadd it works fine.
Please copy me directly on the response as I am not subscribed to the list any more. (I thought I was done.)
Thanks,
John
