...you mean "experimental on 2.6.x kernel" OK, but switching back is not as easy (for me) as ist sounds ( firewall etc) anyway...... i NEVER put a root on a RAID. I reinstalled the same box, just leaving / on a normal partition (ext3) and all works fine..... and hoping the harddisk wont fail until my backup is done ! ...a frustrated Linux User !

Raid is kind a experimental on 2.4.x kernels, better chose 2.4.x kernel.

Uninstall kernel 2.6.x, then install kernel 2.4.x (x means latest one). Then start lilo or change settings within grub.

Afterwards reboot - not before the installation of kernel 2.4.x (otherwise you cannot load any kernelmodules and that would be not funny)!!!

OK, id did a complete new installation (same box) with the same disk-configuration:

/dev/hda2 + /dev/hdb2 als raid1: /dev/md0 = / #root (ext3) /dev/hda1 = /boot

from original CD SuSe 91prof. minimal System installed.

all works fine until i upgrade the kernel 2.6.4 to 2.6.5 from the ftp.suse.com with YOU.

The boot aborts with:

raidautorun ... waiting for device /dev/900 to appear ...(short delay ) .... not found....

RAIDs never saved me from a "dilemma", for me, the always created one !
