Hi Mark, |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
i really think it could be an issue of naming... As if i boot from the |
| 23 |
install-cd the raid-drives are named md124 - md127 and /dev/md/livecd:1 - |
| 24 |
/dev/md/livecd:4. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I installed a kernel with genkernel and its corresponding initramfs, but after |
| 27 |
booting i get the same errors. starting the busybox shows the /dev/md3 but i |
| 28 |
cant mount it in any way. |
