Could you let me know more on the RAID configuration you implemented? Do you have a special slice (partition) for your F0 (parisc bootloader) and may be also for /boot? Do you apply 'persistent-superblock 1' to allow auto detection at boot time? Thanks in advance for your help, Joel PS: may be a simple copy of your /etc/raidtab would be the simple answer to all my question :) ?
