I created two raid1 sets /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 on my second hard drive telling it that my first harddrive was failed (so it wouldn't use it and break it). The first will hold my /boot and the second (for now) will hold my /. I then installed LVM onto my /dev/md1 and copied the filesystems over to the appropriate locations. However after I configure lilo and fstab I have issues. Depending on my lilo.conf I get either L 80 80 80 ... or LI Is there a proper way to boot up?
