Re: 2.6.24-4 kernel not booting
okay...i think i figured out my issue.
it is with raid.
i think i will need a way to check if raid devices are okay.
the system boots but it complains about md1 which is my root system.
i think md0 where my /boot ...everythign is okay there..
it looks like i lost 1 of my drives on md1 which is a raid5
device..but i still not able to boot.
