Re: MD device not found on boot

Hi all!

Currently I have a host with Debian GNU/Linux Lenny on which I've
compiled a 2.6.32 kernel (using the Backports source code) to add
support of Layer7 and IMQ.

The package with the Backports kernel binary works well, but when I boot
my compiled kernel, MD device on / is not found. The configuration file
that I took as a reference is the provided by the installed Backports
kernel binary, so I think it should include modules for MD, and then I
could confirm this in the configuration file used to compile my kernel.

Perhaps it is a problem in generating the initrd file? The process I
used to compile and install the kernel is the Debian way, creating a
package then installed with dpkg.



Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi, did you check if /etc/default/mdadm contains necessary options:

INITRDSTART='all'

AUTOSTART=true

Is mdadm.conf up to date ?

Can you tell us what kind of raid and metadata we are talking about.
