How can I delay the mounting of the filesystem > that exists on the RAID5 array? 1. You need to set the partition that are in the array to the correct partition type - fd. 2. If you have raid compiled as modules, you need a proper initrd which will load appropriate modules (raid5) and then re-autodetect the arrays (SuSE uses 'raidautorun' for that) - all that before your OS actually starts booting. As far as 'personality 4 is not loaded' - I think you don't need to worry about it. It just tells you that it's not loaded...
