raid 1 with static kernel.

raid 1 with static kernel.

[Glatzel Tino]

hello list,


my system is a Debian GNU Linux Sarge. The kernelversion is 2.6.10 without
modulsupport.
The partion id is  fd.
In the first step, the complete system is installed on /dev/hda3.
In the second step, i have created a raid 1 device:
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level 1 --raid-device=2 /dev/hda1 /dev/hdc1
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/md0
mount /dev/md0 /mnt
cp -pr /boot /mnt
umount /mnt

I want to mount /dev/md0 in /boot
change in the /etc/fstab
/dev/md0       /boot   ext3    defaults    0      2



after a reboot, i see the mounted devices:

/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw)

so, i think i will never need the files in the old /boot directory.

umount /boot
cd /boot
ls
System.map-2.6.8-1-386
config-2.6.8-1-386      vmlinuz-2.6.10
grub                    vmlinuz-2.6.10-raid-grsec
initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386  vmlinuz-2.6.10-raid-grsec-hotplug
lost+found              vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386
System.map-2.6.10



rm -r *
cd ..
mount /boot
ls /boot
System.map-2.6.8-1-386
config-2.6.8-1-386      vmlinuz-2.6.10
grub                    vmlinuz-2.6.10-raid-grsec
initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386  vmlinuz-2.6.10-raid-grsec-hotplug
lost+found              vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386
System.map-2.6.10


after a reboot, i see the following message from Grub:

GRUB Loading Stage1.5

GRUB loading, please wait ...
Error 15


Ok, i think GRUB can`t access to /dev/md0
what can i do?
