Hello, |
| 2 |
Thanks for your reply. I did change the type of the partitions on |
| 3 |
both disks to fd linux raid autodetect. When i rebooted in to the live CD i |
| 4 |
gave it the mdadm -A /dev/md3 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 it found both drives and |
| 5 |
brought them up. I was then able to mount the array. |
| 6 |
In my kernel config file i do have CONFIG_MD_RAID1 set to Y. |
| 7 |
I've just tried compiling a genkernel and got the same error when i tried to |
| 8 |
load it. Any suggestions welcome. |
| 9 |
Thanks. |

Dave. |

A couple of things when you reboot into the live cd you need to tell mdadm |
| 19 |
to assemble the drive /dev/md3 with the command mdadm -A /dev/md3 /dev/sda3 |
| 20 |
/dev/sdb3. As for the booting problem i think it may be that you are missing |
| 21 |
a driver did you put the md raid 1 driver into the kernel. Last Neil has a |
| 22 |
point when you ran fdisk did you change the partition type to auto detect |
| 23 |
raid. |

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

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