Hi- I have 2 raid-5 arrays, one is md software raid running on a Highpoint 1540, the other one is a Mylex Acceleraid-250 hardware scsi raid card. Lilo is working fine to boot from the Mylex. But, if I have the md on the Highpoint autodetected, and if it doesn't have a /etc/fstab entry, it seems to screw up the kernel's root device!?! That is, if LILO has: boot = /dev/rd/c0d0 disk = /dev/rd/c0d0 BIOS = 0x80 image = /2.6.7b label = 2.6.7b2 append = "nmi_watchdog=2 reboot=cold parport=0x378,7" read-only root = /dev/rd/c0d0p1 and there is no: # /dev/md1 /mnt/md1 ext3 defaults 0 0 line, it fails when it tries to mount the root filesystem. BUT, if I add either: raid=noautomount _or_ the fstab line that mounts it on /mnt/md1 it seems to work fine... Is the mount code ignoring the "root = /dev/rd/c0d0p1", seeing the autodetected raid, and deciding to magically mount it as root...? -Tom - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
