To replace failed MD RAID1 HD (soft)/No video in 6.4.4 on radeon
SATA sda is what failed on P4/ICH7/rv380 system. While sda was removed, I was
able to Grub boot what was sdb as sda to the degraded RAID1 arrays, but now
that sda is back with nothing on its RAID1 partitions, Grub won't boot
anything from (hd1).
I booted 6.0.1EN to runlevel 3, and found no /proc/mdstat. So I did modprobe
dm_mod and modprobe raid1. That created /proc/mdstat, but with no devices
configured. I don't seen anything in cheatcodes to help with RAID rebuilding.
Then I booted 6.4.4EN to default runlevel using noddc (display has invalid
EDID), which put the monitor to sleep after displaying some scrambled output,
and disabled keyboard, forcing use of reset button. I've tried failsafe,
nomodeset and various other cheatcodes, but always lose video after devices
have been configured, even in runlevel 3.
Is there a RAID configurator tool on the X desktop if I ever get there?
