What *doesn't* work is to unpack the initramfs and plop one in (I tried copying over the mdadm.conf I found in my working initramfs to the failing new one, but that didn't help). You *have* to have the /etc/mdadm.conf in your root drive when you come to generate the initramfs. The reason I think I'd managed to get a working initramfs before was that I had a test virgin install on another partition from when I first set the new PC up (before I copied across the root from my old PC), and I'd filched the initramfs from that virgin install when the copy didn't work. The virgin install had the requisite /etc/mdadm.conf, which I've now copied to my proper root partition, regenerated my initramfs, and everything's working OK. -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
