Yes, exactly. > My root partition is a RAID 1 mirror so what I was hoping to do was break > the mirror, ensure that I can still boot to the active half of the mirror > via RedBoot and then install to the other disc, creating a mirror that > has one half missing.

I cannot give you a guarantee but I successfully made a degraded RAID1 with d-i recently. Simply specify a RAID1 with 2 disks but then only assign one disk to it. > Does the armel kernel (your DMA patched 2.6.26) support the old ABI > too, i.e. will I be able to chroot to my old ARM installation while > I'm migrating my configuration?
