I have created other md arrays for user and work partitions which are mounted after the kernel has booted with non-raid root and boot partitions. If root is on a md RAID1 partition then the kernel waits for md0 to appear. It first prints a long trail of dots and then asks whether to revert to the underlying partition, but this fails. I've also tried with opensuse 12.2 beta1 to let the installer create a RAID1 root partition, but this fails to boot as well. My conclusion is that opensuse is not currently tested to boot from RAID1 root or boot partitions. This is supported by RH and FC according to various reports and tutorials on the web. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install root on RAID1 2.reboot 3. -- 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.
