lilo fails on root raid 1 on 2.6.4
Hi All,
I've struck an issue attempting to run lilo when booting to a raid 1
system using a stock Debain 2.6.4-1-686 unstable release kernel image.
After sucecssfully booting into the raid filesystem, attempts to run
lilo give me the error...
Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0000 (NFS/RAID mirror
down ?)
This error occurrs regardless of how I specify the root device (eg
root=dev/hda2 or root=/dev/md0).
The mirror is in a failed disk state, with /dev/hda2 holding on to old
file system and manually marked as failed.
(This process has never been an issue in the past) Conf files listed
below...
Has anyone come across this before?
Any suggestions much appreciated,
Cheers,
Lewis
