I get three lines: Does those partions have the FD type flag (linux raid autodetect)? With som= e=20 2.4.X kernel versions it worked without it, but I think with 2.6.X you real= ly=20 need to mark the partitions with this partition type. Hope it helps, Bernd PS: Sometimes I forget to set this flag and then have the same problem ;) --Boundary-02=_aw7GBp0kb2eeNRK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBG7waC8BUnAF+ydYRAnETAJ9o89MAhRuxJUx344YdIiob4cQbCQCfVE54 AdyRvHiJvZmOtMLZJ34IZxw= =MfH2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_aw7GBp0kb2eeNRK--
