[opensuse] Suse 10.3 beta install does not recognize raid drives
When I install 10.3 Beta3, it does not recognize the raid drive setup from the previous beta2 install, same with beta2, it did not recognize the beta1 install on raid. I have to go through and create the raid1 drives each time. Is there any secret to get these permanent? It does recognize a backup raid and wants to install on it.

On initial reboot when it is installing the boot loader, it cannot find md3 which is where it just installed everything. Raid is as follows. md0 raid1 /boot 101 MB md1 raid0 swap1 GB md3 raid1 / 20 GB md4 raid1 /home 267 GB When booting, it comes up it cannot find /dev/md3 for initrd Has procedures changed for installing on raid or is this a bug.

The reason I ask is that as of 10.3 (generally kernels above 2.6.18-20 (not sure exactly which one)) IDE devices were renamed to SDxx from their historical HDxx designations. This has caused a bunch of installation/conversion bugs, one of which sounds just like what you are describing. Check out bug 304657 and others like it on the buglist. It is possible with some manual GRUB editing to get 10.3 entirely onto a MD raid including the boot loader but at the moment due to the IDE/SATA rename bugs, it doesn't happen automatically. (yet). I have a 4 array setup MD0=swap/Raid0 MD1=/boot Raid1, MD2=/ (root) Raid1, MD3=/home Raid5 1TB. The MBR is part of the drive containing MD1which starts at track 0. You will need to edit the partitions but DO NOT FORMATthem if you want to preserve the data (such as home) but you will have to reset the FSTAB mount points which don't get preserved due to the name change bug. Eventually, it does work but the bugs make it frustrating. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bugs 304657, 309837 309040 308148 ... and the list goes on, are all serious issues involving 10.3 that seem to have been caused by the IDE/SATA renaming decision. I think we will see a lot more queries like this one unless the guys working these and similar issues in factory get real lucky, real quickjust an opinion. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
