Hi,

I have a fresh Debian Lenny Box with three Sata Disks (250GB and 2 X 500GB).

"/" is mounted on the first disk (/dev/sda) outside any raid array.

The other disks (/dev/sdb and /dev/sdc) have only one raid partition
each and were used by mdadm to create a software raid array
(/dev/md0).

I keep getting Kernel Panic whenever I try mkfs.ext2(3|4): mkfs.ext2 /dev/md0.

I googled it, but most of the kernel panic pages refers to booting
from a raid array, which is not my case.

TIA,



Atenciosamente,
