Hi there, i´m upgrading my server´s disk, from 20 Gb to 120Gb, the situation is what follows :
PIII 550 / 256MB 2X HD 120GB (under raid1) SUSE 8.1 system
the 20 GIG disks are already working well, with the / mounted on the MD0(hda3/hdc3), witch is performing well, the /boot is mounted on /dev/hda1 (200megs), and is not running into a raid partition, BUT the quest ehre, more than change the disks, is to make LILO boot from a raid1 partition.

but after the :
md : ... autorun DONE. done... EXT3-fs : unable to read superblock EXT2-fs : unable to read superblock ISOFS_read_super : bread failed, dev=09:00 iso_blknum=16, block=32 Kernel Panic : VFS : unable to mount root fs on 09:00
everything hangs... really!
I haven´t tried out to boot the new disks without the RAID on the boot, will be my next try, in order to let the system useable to an saturday nigth fever...
anyone has any sugestion ?
