I succeded, but I had to hack a number of things, including making a new initrd by hand. I used mkinitrd, but it did not treat sw raid, only in the md sense. this is a redhat/mandriva/pclinuxos(keldix thing, I wonder if it also used in the dbian/ubuntu world. So what do you use for generating initrd? And does it work out of the box? Are there any installers that have support for raid1/raid10? BTW, I updated the howto on preventing against failure caused by a single bad disk, and I think it now kind of reflects something that works. best regards Keld
