Re: [gentoo-amd64] Quick grub question

["Florian D." <flockmock@gmx.at>]

hello,
the drive ordering thing is explained by Duncan already. I just want to point out that if you want
to have your root partition on the raid too and if you are using the new superblock version(>=1),
you should be aware of the fact, that it is not possible to auto-assemble the array during the boot
process. Neither the normal raid-autodetect nor a kernel command line like
raid=noautodetect root=/dev/md1 md=1,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2,/dev/sdc2
will work. In this case, you have to use an initramfs to assemble your root-raid, or just use the
old 0.90 superblocks, which is the default, I think.
I just wanted to tell you that, because I had exactly the same issue and setting up the initramfs
was quite a lot of work (and IMHO only poor documentation available).

cheers, f
