[Assuming MD RAID autodetect]
I don't know how the autodetect mechanism works. But neither have I noticed you share either 12.1's or 11.4's /etc/mdadm.conf, or a comparison of the two. Maybe that's what you've missed? Maybe a boot using UUID for root= cmdline syntax would get you farther along?
Ah yes, thanks for the reminder. Forgot to put that on the email. Here is 12.1's /etc/mdadm.conf: ARRAY /dev/md/0 metadata=1.0 UUID=e96a14ed:bc7c8d5a:9b0c114a:9e208631 name=linux-aw90:0 ARRAY /dev/md/1 metadata=1.0 UUID=cdfe9dc0:73d6f7cb:7dda2c20:e3758f4f name=linux-aw90:1 ARRAY /dev/md/2 metadata=1.0 UUID=9e211746:31896532:b4f86782:184e93f7 name=linux-aw90:2 This is close to the mdadm --detail --scan running on 12.1: linux-aw90:/mnt/md/etc # mdadm --detail --scan ARRAY /dev/md0 metadata=1.0 name=linux-aw90:0 UUID=e96a14ed:bc7c8d5a:9b0c114a:9e208631 ARRAY /dev/md/1 metadata=1.0 name=linux-aw90:1 UUID=cdfe9dc0:73d6f7cb:7dda2c20:e3758f4f ARRAY /dev/md/2 metadata=1.0 name=linux-aw90:2 UUID=9e211746:31896532:b4f86782:184e93f7 When I created the first RAID, yast created the mdadm.conf file, so when adding /dev/md2 I just made sure it followed the same format. I have read that you can simply run mdadm --detail --scan directly into the mdadm config file so they match exactly. And here is 11.4's /etc/mdadm.conf: DEVICE containers partitions ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=e96a14ed:bc7c8d5a:9b0c114a:9e208631 name=linux-aw90:0 ARRAY /dev/md1 UUID=cdfe9dc0:73d6f7cb:7dda2c20:e3758f4f name=linux-aw90:1 ARRAY /dev/md2 UUID=9e211746:31896532:b4f86782:184e93f7 name=linux-aw90:2 I have just tried rebooting like I did before into /dev/sdb5 and also with the UUID for root in the menu.lst syntax, and neither one will boot up now. I did not make any changes to the disk and it booted up before, so maybe something is corrupted on the partition. Do you think that is possible? -- G.O.
