Redhat, glibc-devel-2.1.1-6, egcs-1.1.2-12, ftp.kernel.org/linux-2.2.16.
I've tried all recent 2.2 kernels - 14, 15 and 16 with appropriate patches (except
patch 15 for kernel 16) - "patch -p0 < patchfile" in /usr/src directory.
Seems like I can't get my kernel to work with raid5.
Can someone give me a clue how to compile my kernel so it won't write "mkraid:
aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues." ?
Here's what in my 2.2.16's (non-patched) /proc/mdstat:
Personalities : [4 raid5]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
Here's what patch writes:
