I expect that it is missing from that file and that is why it isn't being started. The mdadm.conf file is used by the initrd at early boot time. After making any modifications to that file the initramfs needs to be updated so that it will incorporate the new changes. There are many ways to do this. I usually recommend this since it will always do the right thing. dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 Where linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 is your current installed kernel. The above would be for Wheezy 7.7 Stable. Alternatively you could run 'mkinitramfs' directly. > PS Is there a way to make vi available in the rescue console ? Yes. You didn't say why it isn't available for you. I can only guess that it is probably because you have many partitions and they are not mounted. That is fine. But then you need to manually mount those from the rescue shell. Try 'mount -a' to read the /etc/fstab and mount all of the listed partitions there. Bob
