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!?!
While I was using Highpoint 1540's with an autodetected raid 5 on these with the boot drive on hda, I had to use ide=reverse to make the machine boot from the "correct" drive. Changing the 1540's out for Promise SATA 150 TX4 controllers made this problem go away.
I never really investigated it any further Regards, Brad - 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
