Don't you need a "modprobe md" before this? Did you build this
configuration with the installer or have you copied a working system
to a different machine?
Not sure if I need the modprobe md first, I thought (incorrectly?) that
when you load a module it loads all the required modules with it.
This was a system converted to a RAID 1 setup a while back, after the
raid was configured I had rebuild the initrd with the following command:
mkinitrd --preload=raid1 initrd-2.6 ......
The exact method I used can be found in this message I sent to the list
about a year ago:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2007-June/msg06369.html
I don't know enough about the technique to be more specific, but only
the modules known to be needed will be included in the initrd. Maybe
you need to tell it about md explicitly. I've occasionally found it
easier to install a minimal system with a separate /boot partition on
new/changed hardware, then copy over everything except /boot (tweaking
/etc/fstab and /etc/modprobe.conf as needed) than to try to figure out
the names of all the needed modules and the other stuff anaconda knows
about.
