Raid5 on a 450 problem

Raid5 on a 450 problem

[Flavio Pescuma]

Hi

I'm trying to set up a 450 with Ultralinux-1.1.9 kernel 2.2.5 with 3 8Gb
disks using raid5 (software)
Everything seems to go fine, I'm able to create the raid5 with three
disks, make ext2 file system, mount it, etc... but after reboot the
second and third disk on the raid becomes corrupted and the raid doesn't
come up.  Even fdisk doesn't recognize the parameters of the disks which
I need to re-enter manually

Suggestions?

Regards,

Flavio

Do not start partitions at cylinder 0 which will be part of a raid,
begin them at cylinder 1 instead, the same goes for swap partitions.
