Partitioning and creating the arrays went during install with Yast without error messages, but during install of software I saw messages Device block!9:0 not found in sysfs flying by. When it was time for Yast to create the initrd, the message Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop Root device: ext4-root (/dev/block/9:0) (mounted on / as ext4) Device block!9:0 not found in sysfs was given, and it appeared no initrd was created: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 jan 15 16:35 ./ drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 jan 15 16:18 ../ -rw------- 1 root root 512 jan 15 16:35 backup_mbr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 jan 15 16:18 boot -> ./ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1236 okt 24 04:19 boot.readme -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103289 okt 27 12:30 config-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 jan 15 16:35 grub/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 jan 15 16:20 initrd -> initrd-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop drwx------ 2 root root 16384 jan 15 15:56 lost+found/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 421376 jan 15 16:35 message -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 170143 okt 27 12:32 symvers-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1907577 okt 27 11:31 System.map-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 jan 15 16:20 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4104416 okt 27 11:31 vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop No need to say booting this arrangement fails. After booting the system from another disk with 11.2, and assembling and mounting the raid fs'es (with goes flawlessly; here too the content seems correct), I tried to create the initrd by hand with mount /dev/md0 /mnt/root mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root/boot mount --bind /dev /mnt/root/dev chroot /mnt/root mount /proc mount /sys mkinitrd as suggested by the mkinitrd man page. But this gives the same error, and no initrd is created in the chrooted /boot.
