Wilbur: There's definitely something in your files which looks hand edited but it's not going to result in this particular problem (although it may cause you a different problem sometime down the line, possibly when you go to upgrade that Ubuntu install to 7.10...).
At any rate I think you're right that something racy is happening in /lib .Now technically this has turned into a support query rather a bug report - "How do I do software RAID0" (oh and that scares me too. RAID0 - Yikes!). As such you might be better off using one of the support methods described on http://www.ubuntu.com/support/communitysupport . At a random guess (given I don't know how your system is set up) I suspect you will need to add raid0 and md to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and then rebuild initrd. Without that the system might not know how to do RAID when it is doing its bootstrapping. This may then allow you to mount your root partition directly. I don't use RAID myself on my Ubuntu machines so I'm in a poor position to advise you but you might be able to glean some more information from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/RAID1 (I'd try and stick with grub and since you are using software linux raid you don't need to have dmraid etc.). It's probably a good idea to retitle this bug too. -- kernel 2.6.20-16 nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new won't load https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
