Ahh. No, my root partition is plain reiser, and /boot is ext2, both non raid, on /dev/hdb. I only have an extra 3 Gb partition as raid, to experiment with :-)
OK, I see. It only adds to the mystery. Why does it still fail? You suggested in an earlier mail it might be because initrd is not yet loaded at that point. But I think that's not possible. I mean: the whole idea of initrd is that you can insert modules even before the root partition is mounted.
But now you mention that the system is trying twice: looking carefully to the output of dmesg, I see the same. Only thing is: the first time it succeeds, the second time it says "md: array md0 already exists!" (see below for complete output).
Interesting...
Ah, but yours are scsi disks, it seems. Maybe there is a difference there :-?
Yes, they are indeed SCSI disks. I would not expect any difference on that account. But then again: who am I? Paul.
