First one in weeks and only the 3rd or 4th boot with this newer patch file. One of the two drives making a RAID0 wasn't found so /dev/md11 (constructed from /dev/sdd and /dev/sde) couldn't be started. I did a cold reboot and the drive was found. If it matters, and it probably doesn't, the failure came on a boot which had a scheduled fsck to do of /dev/md5 - my main / drive. I don't see how that would make a difference but I figure why leave the info out. That's why the times are so much larger in the dmesg file. (I think) dmesg attached. I patched the Gentoo kernel if it makes a difference, same as I did with the earlier patch. mark@c2stable ~ $ uname -a Linux c2stable 2.6.34-gentoo-r2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 18 14:09:48 PDT 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU X 980 @ 3.33GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux mark@c2stable ~ $ Sorry, Mark
