ok- the main point with booting is thus- with the new raid code, you can
start raid from the kernel without any utils on the disk. meaning, all you
have to do is get the kernel into ram, and jump to its starting address.
this is what lilo is for, along with loadlin, etc.

Is it safe to assume 2.0.36 is more stable with 0.9x than

Well, I've run a busy file server with 2.0.3x and 0.9x RAID patches from
november/december in uninterrupted production use without a single

Lilo being raid1 capable would be cool, it would be simple enough to have
a 10 meg mirror to have /boot on then / could be mounted from a raid5
or somthing... might even be cool to have the mirror across each disk in
the raid5 then you could guarantee it would find one and boot no matter
The production systems I'm adminin' have very static root
filesystems so, for now, I'm converging on the conclusion
that having two bootable roots and mirrored non-roots is
the cleanest setup.
I'm using 2.0.36 + latest aic7xxx + raidtools 0.42. I assume
I should also apply
I think we're talking cross purposes!
I was trying to say that if lilo could do RAID( 1 ) then you could have a
5(say) way mirror for the 10meg /boot partition... then lilo would be on
all the disks... then you could use all 5 disks in a raid5 for /

yes, under raid1, all the partitions would be identical in the area where
the kernels are. however, you still have to update the MBR which is
outside the raid space. this would require copying that block from the
first disk

not to distant future when time permits and raid 1+ is not so alpha.
If you have specific questions about booting initrd ramdisk, etc... I
will try to answer them or point you to the document with the answers.

Does anyone know of other root-raid howtos
From: Michael
The Root Raid HOWTO is seriously out of date and is based on the 0.42
raid tool set. The current .9x tool set is different in it's setup
and configuration. Raid is still alpha but seems to be pretty stable now
with a real nice feature set. I will update the HOWTO,
