Hello, |
| 2 |
I had the LSI driver loading as a module. I recompiled the kernel |
| 3 |
and made it monolithic, put in the raid and other drivers in that way and |
| 4 |
rebooted. It is working! |
| 5 |
That also explains another unrelated issue. |
| 6 |
Thanks a lot. |
| 7 |
Dave. |

Do you have the lsi fusion kernel driver installed? |

Hello, |
| 26 |
Thanks for your reply. I did change the type of the |
| 27 |
partitions on |
| 28 |
both disks to fd linux raid autodetect. When i rebooted in to the |
| 29 |
live CD i |
| 30 |
gave it the mdadm -A /dev/md3 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 it found both |
| 31 |
drives and |
| 32 |
brought them up. I was then able to mount the array. |
| 33 |
In my kernel config file i do have CONFIG_MD_RAID1 set to Y. |
| 34 |
I've just tried compiling a genkernel and got the same error when i |
| 35 |
tried to |
| 36 |
load it. Any suggestions welcome. |
| 37 |
Thanks. |
| 38 |
Dave. |

A couple of things when you reboot into the live cd you need to tell |
| 48 |
mdadm |
| 49 |
to assemble the drive /dev/md3 with the command mdadm -A /dev/md3 |
| 50 |
/dev/sda3 |
| 51 |
/dev/sdb3. As for the booting problem i think it may be that you are |
| 52 |
missing |
| 53 |
a driver did you put the md raid 1 driver into the kernel. Last Neil |
| 54 |
has a |
| 55 |
point when you ran fdisk did you change the partition type to auto |
| 56 |
detect |
| 57 |
raid. |

Did you set the partition type to Linux RAID Autodetect (FD)? |

If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment. |
