You came up trumps. Your pointers got me running woody with root

STOP PRESS: I've now got woody with root fs on LVM on software RAID-1.

As a matter of fact I just spent last weekend doing this

Hi,
Has anyone successfully built a woody system with root fs on software
RAID and kernel 2.4 ?
I am running several installations of potato with root fs on RAID and

woody and kernel version 2.4.17 have failed so far.

hi ya brian
yes... i suppose it's just as easy ( better ) to clone the

detects some flakyness..
