Hi all,

It seems that the genkernel team did the switcheroo with genkernel.

I used to build an initramfs with a newer mdadm by putting:

MDADM_VER="3.2.6"

in genkernel.conf and copying the related tarball to /var/cache/genkernel.

I discovered a bit of a problem, all that's been removed in the latest
genkernel, and I don't see any obvious notes or new config files. Anyone
know how to do this?

Dan

I got caught with the busybox versions ... it seems if you put the older
entries back it will work as it used to, at least it did for me.

Well, all I had to do was put the MDADM_VER line back in (nothing else)
and it seems to work.

Thanks! I wish they'd let us know when they make changes like that...
