Hi, > The error message: > > VFS: Can't mount root unknown-block(9,1) > > indicates that the kernel is trying to mount /dev/md1 directly (device > 9:1 is /dev/md1), which won't work if the md driver is a module (even > if the md driver is built in, this won't work if the array needs > user-space configuration before it can be mounted). I remember using lilo in the past to boot from RAID partitions, no? Isn't that why lilo writes the bootsector of both disks in a mirror? > You should look at Documentation/initrd.txt for details on the current > state of initrd.

After doing some research, it appears people are moving to syslinux/extlinux/isolinux as replacement for lilo and grub, so I'm investigating that approach now.
