Q: Does the 2.6.32.1 kernel still support raid-5 on the root device if using an initial ram disk? Q: Since this isn't working for me, have any suggestions of things to look at? Q: Is order important when doing an "mkinitrd --preload"? Background: When booting with busybox, I can mount the partitions, modify them, etc. I'm simply having problems booting. The raid devices are clean and aren't sync'ing. I've been running a 2.6.20 variant kernel with a machine who's root partition is a software raid-5 device (/dev/mdX). I was not using any kernel modules to boot, so no initrd was needed. I'm now trying to run 2.6.32.1 + some additional kernel modules via an initrd (I put several of the modules in initrd at this point). Unfortunately, I'm no longer able to boot with the root partition as a raid-5 device. The initrd was created using mkinitrd. I requested that the following modules should loan on startup with the --preload option: - pata_it8213 - sata_sis - pata_sis - pata_sch - pata_mpiix - pata_it821x - ata_generic - dm-mod - dm-multipath - dm-mirror - dm-log - raid1 - raid456 - sr_mod - aic94xx - aic79xx - aic7xxx - scsi_transport_spi - BusLogic - mptbase - mptsas - mptspi - mptctl - mptfc - mptlan - mptscsih -- 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
