In stock Fedora Core 5 test 3 with a mkinitrd-5.0.26 created initramfs the dmraid was not properly activated. I did a fresh install of FC5 test and upgraded to mkinitrd-5.0.28 inside the rescue environment. I rebuilt the initial ram disk and I'm happy to report that it fixes the problem. More details are available in the bug I filed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182446 Dax Kelson Guru Labs -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
