LILO + boot raid1 (software)

["David Ross" <david@db.mr.co.za>]

Hi 

I recently decided that it was time we did a kernel upgrade on a server
of ours running software RAID1 on a Debian 3 Woody machine. The raid
devices are set up fine and running ok:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0              478M   68M  410M  15% /
/dev/md1              2.8G  513M  2.2G  18% /usr
/dev/md2              9.3G  3.6G  5.7G  39% /var
/dev/md3              5.9G  3.2G  2.7G  54% /home

Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid1 hdc1[1] hda1[0]
      489856 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md1 : active raid1 hdc2[1] hda2[0]
      2931776 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md2 : active raid1 hdc3[1] hda3[0]
      9767424 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md3 : active raid1 hdc5[1] hda5[0]
      6233088 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

My lilo.conf looks like this:

lba32
boot=/dev/md0
root=/dev/md0
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
default=raid
vga=normal

image=/vmlinuz
	label=Linux
	read-only
	restricted
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26
	label=two4twenti6
	read-only
	restricted
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-raid
	label=raid
	read-only
	restricted

When I try run lilo I get the following:

As far as I can see the map file *is* on the boot RAID partition. Is
there something I am missing here? I have other machine set up like this
too and they seem to work fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
