Lilo-Guru for SoftwareRaidSetup wanted ...
Dear Debian Users,
I am a intermediate user of Debian an SuSE Linux. But I have a Problem,
which I don`t seem to get solved.
(Plz excuse my English, I am currently in german law exams, so
everything I say and write should be regarded as nonsense ;).
I want to set up a Software Raid Box with the Raidtools2 in two
identical IDE Disks. I followed this tutorial
http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/schoppa/raid/woody-raid-howto.html and
tried to help myself with the Software-Raid-Howto.
The idea is to install Linux on hda, compile a kernel with raid support,
set up the raid on hdb (with hda as the failed-disk 1 in /etc/raidtab),
copy the system to raid and then zap the installation on hda.
Everything runs fine until the moment to boot from raid.
The author of my tutorial suggests to create a boot disk first:
dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=2k
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/md0
rdev -r /dev/fd0 0
rdev -R /dev/fd0 1
This disk doesn't work for me. I know that he writes the kernel to fd0.
But the system boots from hda, so I guess I didn`t configure Lilo correctly.
Could someone out there plese drop me a few lines 'bout how to setup the
lilo-configuration?
Thank you in advance,
Martin from Cologne
