our mkinitrd is severely broken regarding root raid. RH7.3\'s works perfectly. testcase: [disk1] /boot swap / [disk2] /boot swap / Have some initrds from both ALM2 and RH7.3. NB: /boot MUST be first as per <a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Boot+Root+Raid+LILO-3.html">http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Boot+Root+Raid+LILO-3.html</a> : \"In theory the start of the raid partition could fall anywhere in the 1024 megs, but in practice I was unable to get it to work unless the boot-raid started at the first block of the set.\" Additional Reading: <a href="http://search.altlinux.ru/?q=root+raid">http://search.altlinux.ru/?q=root+raid</a> <a href="http://search.altlinux.ru/?q=root+raid1">http://search.altlinux.ru/?q=root+raid1</a> --- would mark as \"block\" not as \"major\" but don\'t believe it\'s realistically fixable before ALM2.2... ---
Please check mkinitrd-2.8.9-alt1
2.8.7-vsu and 2.8.8-alt1 work (have a pre-production setup with 2.4.21-std-smp-alt13 / 2.8.8-alt1) will update it with 2.4.21-std-smp-alt14+ and recheck that
fixed long ago and verified to work
