It doesn't work. I think that at that point initrd is not yet loaded, so that raid1 should have to be in the kernel itself, not as a module. Or disable the kernel trying to mount the raid automatically, I think I saw an option. Or just ignore it.
Strange. I have a RAID0 root partion (/dev/md0, ext3) and it works fine. In INITRD_MODULES I have: "aic7xxx jbd ext3 raid0 ide-scsi".
No, no, you misunderstood me: I can mount my raid, that is no problem :-) The thing is that I'm curious why the kernel tries to mount it very early on the boot process, but it fails. A bit later, initrd is read, the root partition (reiserfs) is mounted, and then the raid is successfully mounted, maybe after reading /etc/fstab (this last detail I'm not sure). But this means the system is trying twice; I was trying to optimize the process, and understand why it is happening. My guess is that, for the first try to succeed, the raid code must not be a module, but linked directly into the kernel. Probably, this would be needed to boot from a software raid, which is not my case. In my case, I would like to disable that first try. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
