Change the "root=..." setting in lilo.conf. Essentially, your problem is that you're trying to boot directly from a software RAID device, but the device doesn't exist at boot time. You have to pass additional options to the kernel in order to tell it which devices (partitions) make up the RAID array. See Documentation/md.txt for details. -- Glynn Clements <glynn.clements@xxxxxxxxxx> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
