I wanted to try software raid1. I've got only one machine so this had to go in to a virtual machine, i installed from the 2008 minimal iso image, the install went fine, while chrooted /dev/md* devices were working fine, fdisk, mke2fs, and software installs all worked fine. Upon reboot i'm seeing mdadm trying to detect the two disks, and not succeeding, therefor unable to mount /dev/md3 and i'm getting a kernel panic. The disks are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb two scsi disks on a virtual LSI controller. I then thought boot with the minimal iso again, which i did and atempt to mount /dev/md3 manually. I'm getting an error that i must specify the filesystem type and when i do type mdraid is unknown. Any help welcome. Thanks. Dave.
