Hi everyone!
I have two 40GB drives that I want to mirror (hda and hdc). I am trying to
install SuSE 9.0 Pro using autoyast. I tried using software raid (raid1)
with no success. At the formatting stage of the auto installation I get the
following error:
"Error
Could not load module raid1"
I would like to put /boot and / in /dev/md0 and /dev/md1. I also created
two swap partitions, one in each drive. Here is my raid config in the XML
control file:
=======================================================
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/hda</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<format config:type="boolean">false</format>
Hi, Are you using the original installation files, ie. kernel, initrd? This is probably due to version mismatch, the raid modules should be loaded automatically... Anas Mouncef_Belcaid@blm.gov wrote:

Hello. I had the same problem. I went ahead and installed with out raid 1. And then went back and set up raid later. It's working fine on two 8o gig Maxtor harddrives. Rich On Thu January 15 2004 5:54 pm, Anas Nashif wrote:
