So the message: mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 4 drives. should be for resumedev. It appears that it is picking the right drives, but the wrong name (/dev/md0 rather than /dev/md1). That means the command $mdadm -A $mdconf --uuid=$uuid "$dev" must have the correct $uuid for the resumedev, but the wrong $dev. The only way I can see it getting /dev/md0 for $dev is if the immediately preceeding: if test -z "$dev"; then # fallback dev=/dev/md0 fi set dev, so: dev=$(get_md_name "$uuid") must leave dev as empty. I can only see that happening if /etc/mdadm.conf doesn't exist in the initrd. Yet you say that it does....and the setup script certainly seems to create it... however it will definitely look different from what it on the root filesystem. Can you please report exactly the /etc/mdadm.conf from the initrd? Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There seem to be (at least) two bugs here. 1/ when run from the installer, mkinitrd doesn't know about a resumedev and so doesn't tell the various scripts about one. You can confirm this by looking in y2logmkinitrd in the YaST logs. It mentioned "Root device:" but not "Resume device:". 2/ When given a resume device like /dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-xxxxxxx the mdadm boot script behaves poorly if that uuid is not found in mdadm.conf and assumes /dev/md0. It really doesn't need to assume anything at all. The important difference between the LiveCD and the DVD/NET installs are that the LiveCD sets resume=/dev/md2 while the DVD/NET install sets resume=/dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-xxxxxxxx I can fix '1' by changing: if test -z "$dev"; then # fallback dev=/dev/md0 fi $mdadm -A $mdconf --uuid=$uuid "$dev" to if test -z "$dev"; then $mdadm -A $mdconf --uuid=$uuid else $mdadm -A $mdconf --uuid=$uuid "$dev" fi The others need to be handled by someone who understands mkinitrd and installers... Hannes: can you make any comment on '2'? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
