still the same md issue (do_md_run returns -22=EINVAL) as in -rc6-mm1 reported 
by Thorsten here:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/27/45

Is there around any fix for this?

Having 0.90 raid 0 and 1, commenting this out helps:

The persistency is marked even in analyze_sbs->validate_super, I guess?

Away from that machine now, so that I can't test anything till thursday.

FC6 with latest updates.

I do have. md1 md2 md3 -- raid0, 1, 0. But there is no md0 (removed in the past)
and 'raidautorun /dev/md0 | nash' causes the troubles.

Yup. Monolithic as much as possible (md is in the kernel and so dm is). / on the
lvm2 on the /dev/md1 with no initrd. All are sata disks, so sd_mod, sata_promise
and ata_piix are in the kernel.

Hm, I have never seen FC6 installation process, so I can't say what special
option I have turned on -- it's 'yum upgrade'd from FC5, FC4...

oops on 2.6.19-rc6-mm2: deref of 0x28 at permission+0x7

2006-12-08 Thread Jiri Slaby
Hi!

I got this oops on 2.6.19-rc6-mm2 when starting the system. It happened only
once -- when echo "raidautorun /dev/md0" | nash --quiet was executed. I don't
know why it happened, after reboot it started OK.

There is no md0, only md1, md2 and md3.

See camera-shots here:
