I am having problems with autodetection of a software raid0 array running on Debian unstable with kernel 2.4.21. The Kernel was compiled with all necessary support as suggested by the howto (except there no longer seems to be a specific configuration option for autodetection). Once loaded the array starts normally with raidstart --all. I used Debian kernel sources and built the kernel with make-kpkg. Debian kernel sources are set up for initrd and I have had no luck compiling non-initrd Debian kernels, so the kernel does use initrd. Dmesg seems to indicate it is scanning for raid arrays but for some reason is not finding this particular one. I might add that the partitions concerned are set up as type fd (Linux Raid) and the array was created with persistent-superblock in the raidtab. As I would ultimately like to boot from the software raid I would welcome any assistance in solving this problem. Incidentally, is it correct that Lilo supports booting only from a software raid1 and not a software raid0 array? regards, Darryl - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
