Hi, I am trying to upgrade a FC1 installation to a custom 2.6.9 kernel, and I need some help with it, please. Have 2 SCSI (U320) drives in a Dell 1850 which i setup with 3 raid devices, for /, for /home, and swap. Then mirrored it to sdb, and installed the packages, and everything works ok (/etc/mdstat, and /etc/raidtab report all devices properly). To upgrade, i installed the kernel rpm given to me, did a mkinitrd for the new kernel (which has driver module for the e1000 intel network card), modified the grub.conf and rebooted. This is what i get: ... md: md driver 0.90.0 loading raid1.ko module raid1 personality registered as nr 3 Mounting /proc filesystem raidautorun: RAID_AUTORUN failed: 19 raidautorun: RAID_AUTORUN failed: 19 raidautorun: RAID_AUTORUN failed: 19 creating block devices creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 not syncing: No init found... Since the machine doesn't have NIC driver, i couldn't capture the screen. I did some search on the list, and one thing to verify is if the kernel has a raid module compiled. On a separate machine with a working 2.6.9 kernel with no software RAID, here's what's present: # pwd /lib/modules/2.6.9-final/kernel/drivers/md # ls dm-crypt.ko dm-snapshot.ko md.ko raid10.ko raid6.ko dm-mirror.ko dm-zero.ko multipath.ko raid1.ko xor.ko dm-mod.ko linear.ko raid0.ko raid5.ko The first grub.conf entry looks like this (to verify correct root device): title Fedora Core (2.6.9-final) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-final ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-final.img ... kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115/nptlsmp ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp.img Not sure if i need another module compiled, or if something else is wrong. Appreciate if i can get some help! Thanks, Anjan
