I just tried that. Raid compiled into the kernel instead of modules. No initrd. Still crashes at boot.Bernard wrote:Compiling md in the kernel is the right approach to boot from raided root without initrd. You can try this just skipping (deleteing the line in grub temporary)
Also done another test:in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, replaced root=/dev/mapper/vg00-root by /dev/sda2. Still crashed : "cannot open root device 'sda2' or unknown block(0,0).
There is another test that I would like to run, but I need help for this, since I don't know the whole package list:
apt-get purge kernel-building gcc make kernel-utils etc...then edit my /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out lines that refer to package directories that are too recent, uncomment old lines referring to debian sarge packages only, excluding 'testing' etc..
then apt-get install kernel-building gcc make kernel-utils etc...and, from there on, trying to recompile, not newer kernels, but my good old running kernel 2.6.20-16-386 into a custom version without any sound options in it.
What I need is the list of all packages that I should purge and re-install in their former version.
