Thanks for the advice, I managed to get the system booting off either
disc without further swapping of the drives around though. I set
"raid-extra-boot=mbr-only" in lilo.conf. This forces lilo to rewrite the
mbr of each disc in the raid1 array and not to the first sector of the
raid1 partition.

i'd think there might be a short cut version, but i'm being
lazy to go look it up

Before I did this I tried a few different settings in lilo.conf and had
some success :-).
Setting raid-extra-boot=mbr-only avoided the error I was seeing previously:
:/etc# lilo -v

I can't find an fdisk option to ask for the partition table type.
You could try "parted /dev/hde print" (etc) to verify that both

Hello,
I've replaced a failed disk in my raid 1 setup. I replaced the disk (hda
on-board ide), however the system then hung on reboot, this was because
hda, being blank, had no MBR. The second disk (hde) is plugged into a
promise ide card. So I went into the bios and set it to boot off the

I found no /dev/hd?? devices. But here is the whole procedure:
* Add /dev/md0, /dev/hda1,/dev/hd... to /etc/minitrd/files
* Execute mkinitrd to create image. It should now have the needed /dev nodes.
* Mount image and copy to a directory:
-- mkdir mnt
-- mount -o loop,ro -t cramfs initrd.img-2.6.8
I have compiled raid drivers into the kernel to get raid on root working. But
now I am trying to get another kernel without drivers compiled in to work.
mkinitrd did not add the raid1 module needed for the root partition so I
added it to /etc/mkinitrd/modules. Now the initrd.img image looks good
Hello,
Has anyone succeeded in making Debian boot a root RAID array
with a stock kernel? I've gone through this twice now and cannot figure

Is anyone using a root partition on a software RAID5 volume (kernel 2.2.10)?
I recently just setup this as a test, but my problem is I cannot cleanly
shutdown. Every time I halt or reboot the system, I cannot cleanly unmount
/dev/md0. I run 'fuser -av /' many times during whole shutdown routine
