Hi,
I am a new arch user and this is my first post on this list, so welcome
everyone :-)
29th I upgraded my system using pacman -Syu and after that my system
does not boot.
The problem is that I have root partition on software raid1 and for some
reason scripts from initramfs are not able to create /dev/md device and
mount it on /new_root.
I am using mdadm hook.
Now during booting I need to wait for "emergency shell" and mount root
partition manually this way:
# mdassemble
# mount /dev/md2 /new_root
# exit
I am using lilo as bootloader, not grub.
My revelant part of mdadm.conf looks like this:
ARRAY /dev/md2 metadata=0.90 UUID=bdfacff7:ab87d057:56b4b521:970a1f14
ARRAY /dev/md3 metadata=1.2 name=serenity:3
UUID=1c4f1323:dc8291ca:79423de8:04e93f2e
ARRAY /dev/md1 metadata=0.90 UUID=57c89626:270d4c7b:dedbdb45:3a92e6da
(md1 is swap, md2 is root, md3 is home).
Hooks that I use in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block mdadm filesystems keyboard fsck"
This is my lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/md2
raid-extra-boot="/dev/sda,/dev/sdb"
read-only
lba32
prompt
timeout=100
default=arch
image=/boot/vmlinuz-linux
label=arch
root=/dev/md2
initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux.img
image=/boot/vmlinuz-linux
label=arch-fallback
root=/dev/md2
initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img
I am not sure what hooks/mdadm is supposed to do, for me it looks like
it I have to add md=/dev/md2 to command line when booting?
I would appreciate any help to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Łukasz
