I've now managed to boot natively into my new HW. The final thing to be |
| 24 |
fixed was setting the types of two partitions on each of two SSDs to the |
| 25 |
64-bit equivalent of gdisk's FD00 (Linux RAID). This allowed the kernel |
| 26 |
to assemble these two pairs as mdadm arrays, one of them being the root |
| 27 |
partition. |

So thanks to all who helped! |
