I just installed a raid with autodetection. During that I found
a (I think funny) problem which I want to report.
kernel 2.2.17pre13-RAID
pre-patch-2.2.17-13.bz2
raid-2.2.17-A0
raid1 was configured as module, the vmlinuz image is located
in a /boot partition. It looks like the module is
hi christian
if you have a raid-root-fs, then
i think the problem is that the kernel cannot load
the modules unless the rootfilessystem is mounted
and /lib/modules/ is available. but without
the module, a mount is not possible. :-o
have you tried with compiled in support ?
ps: nice to see

at 4.4 Copy the current OS to the new raid device
you should add a hint for creating a empty boot and proc
directory, my rh6.1 box hangs after the first reboot
with the floppy,
You could probably make it work OK by using initrd and loading the module
with the script, but compiling in support would be much more straightforward.
