I am ok with this if we have to do it, but it seems strange ... is RAID built as a module or as a built in for the default distro kernel? It is also interesting to note that in Fedora, the mkinitrd was patched to use mdadm (http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/mkinitrd/F-7/mkinitrd.spec}. This is for mkinitrd-6.x. This machine (Centos 5.2) uses mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-28 [root@jackrabbitm ~]# rpm -qf /sbin/mkinitrd mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-28 mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-28 It is starting to look like we need to switch to a later model mkinitrd. I'll try this, but are there any patches running around for this for this mkinitrd? Conversely, does anyone else with MD raid on their root/boot drive see mdadm or mdadm.conf in their initrd with a similar mkinitrd on their system?
