You can try to explicitly specify the RAID to the kernel instead of |
| 20 |
relying on autodetection. Add the following line to your kernel |
| 21 |
parameter list: |
| 22 |
raid=noautodetect md=3,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1 root=/dev/md3 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
the first parameter on md= is the number of the md node. So if you want |
| 25 |
it as /dev/md3, you specify the 3. The RAID level is automatically detected. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Other then that: Make sure the mdm subsystem is really compiled into the |
| 28 |
kernel and not a module. |

Hope this helps, |
