All partitions are marked as "auto-detect" (fd), and raid support is in my kernel (not as module).

(md-support is in kernel, and partitions are marked as type "fd - Linux raid autodetect"). Concerning 2, I'm not sure if I understand correctly: Do you mean turning off initramfs support in kernel-configuration? Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
