Dave, |

I suspect this is the same problem I had two weeks ago. Search for |
| 18 |
my thread called: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
"How does grub assemble a RAID1 for / ??" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
and read that for background. |

If I'm correct this is a metadata issue. You have two choices: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
1) What I think you've done is create the RAID1 without specifying |
| 27 |
--metadata=0.90. If that's correct then you __must__ use an initramfs |
| 28 |
to load mdadm. I'm studying how to do that myself. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
2) Rebuild the RAID1 specifying --metadata=0.90 which is the only |
| 31 |
metadata type that the kernel can auto-assemble for you at boot time |
| 32 |
without an initramfs, and what I'm currently using here. |
| 33 |

Hope this helps, |
