While inside initrd shell I brought up /dev/md0 while renaming it at the same time, then booted into debian, like this: # hostname backup # mdadm -A -U name -U hostname /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1 # <Ctrl-D> This caused change of Array Name from 'backup':0 to backup:0 When booted, I reinstalled linux-image package (with aptitude) and this forced regeneration of initrd. Now it reboots just fine. thank you for your help! -- Janek Kozicki http://janek.kozicki.pl/ | -- 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
