Just FYI, I boot off of a RAID10 on imsm, albiet on older hardware. Some |
| 17 |
time ago there was a change that the kernel would not autoassemble a |
| 18 |
RAID with a kernel only, you need to use an initramfs. (OK, I just |
| 19 |
looked and all I find are "my raid won't boot" results rather than the |
| 20 |
changes I found a couple years ago. But I did try.) |

I spent a couple of days trying to get mine to boot and eventually went |
| 23 |
hell with it and used dracut to create an initramfs, and it was smooth |
| 24 |
sailing after that. |
