I'm "guessing" the raid driver rr232 is loaded after mdadm tries to assemble md0 and therefore doesn't fully assemble because the system can't see the pci plugged in drives. dmesg seems to have this order. Is there a way to delay the mdadm assemble until after the driver is loaded? The / system is on single disk /dev/sda. Thanks! Mike
