Re: Root on RAID - stock

[Alvin Oga <aoga@Maggie.Linux-Consulting.com>]

hi ya george


the kernel... is raid0 and raid1 compatible...
with no modifications/patches needed ...
	( just need to make sure raid in turned on in the kernel option

-- for raid5...you need some patches...depending on which kernel version

-- you cannot boot....bceause you only have /boot on raid1 from a prior
   email... and the kernel in /boot cannot find anything else ( root fs )

-- haven't seen that lilo config... seems like it shoudl work... but
   than again... i'd take out ( xxxx> ) all your disk info
