So I am not sure why you are having this problem. Neither am I. I already installed a couple of servers with full raid1 using various distros (RedHat, Caldera, Debian), now I'm trying Gentoo and I can not get past the first booting... :-( > Could you double check that /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules contains: > # md block devices > KERNEL=="md[0-9]*", NAME="md/%n", SYMLINK+="%k", GROUP="disk" Yes, I do have it there... > Also, do you have any custom rules files in /etc/udev/rules.d? No custom rules. Did not have time to make them, you now, my system is not booting at all... > In the maintenance mode, does /sys/block/md0/* exist? What does "cat > /proc/mdstat" report? mdstat does not report anything. No /dev/md* exist, so no /dev/md* is running... BTW, on gentoo-forum I got answer with link pointing to debian list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/02/msg00253.html It seems (or at least it is discussed there) that this (udev does not create /dev/md* at startup) is some kernel-bug! If some of our kernel developers is watching this list, could he confirm or refuse it? Can I somehow get rid of udev, when it is causing problems to me? In the meantime I'm trying to update my system to 2.6.12-r4 (up to now I used 2.6.11-r3 from 2005.0 universal installation cd)... Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
