I'm upgrading my home samba server to a raid 1 software installation with 2 identical hard disks.
I had fedora already installed on a 40Gb HD.
Steps that I followed:
- Boot into 40Gb disk and create raid volumes on new disks.
- Format new disks and mount them
- Copy all the information from the old disk to the new ones on raid1 using tar (with timestamp and all checkings needed)
After that I chrooted into the new installation and did a LILO install (I'm using LILO for my raid setup since it's raid-friendlier)
Everything went fine but on reboot the kernel panicked due to the fact that it didn't autodetect the raid volumes properly.
First the kernel tries to autodetect the raid volumes _before_ the initrd ramdisk hits in, then after that the initrd disk enters and loads the modules, resulting in the kernel panic problem.
Is there a way to delay autodetect or to force an autodetect on the initrd ramdisk?
Thanks for your help
