Hi Ricky,
Since the system is remote, I'm not sure how to do that without looking
at the syslogs.
Oops. Yes, slipped my mind for a sec ;-). Probably not a second
machine there so you could have setup mutual serial consoles.
No problem. I'll see what happens with editing the linuxrc

Hi Ricky,
The last recommendation I noticed was to try and create a custom ramdisk
to force it to load the raid1 module.
Yeah, but I think you already compared the two images and came to the
conclusion that they are identical. In that case creating a ramdisk by
hand does not solve anything.

Hi Ricky,
Okay. lilo.conf uses an initrd image for both the 2.4.9-34 kernel, as well as
the 2.4.20-18.7 copy.
You could check if the initrd for 2.4.20 actually loads the appropriate raid
modules (compare it with the contents of the old one).
You should know the initrd.img is a gzipped

Hi Ricky,
Both 2.4.9 and 2.4.20 have the same linuxrc script. The first module

Since you are using / raid you need a initrd.img that holds and loads
