DetailsI am having a problem with initrd on my machine. I have two md devices, md0 for / and md1 for swap. The system after booting creates only /dev/md0.
The system boots, but any raid device after md0 does not exist in /dev. I can manually do 'mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1' which creates device md1, but I have to do this at every boot. Adding 'mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1' to /sbin/mkinitrd causes initrd to report at boot-up that device 'dev/md1' already exists even though only /dev/md0 exists. Something similar is discussed here as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-25938.html Hope this helps. |

/proc/partitions previously had md0 but no md1. Now it has both.
However, problem of /dev/md1 not appearing exists with initramfs (with archck kernel).
