Problem raid ibm RS6000 B50
nikp
is working fine.
My last step is to implement a software raid drive on root partition.
i'm running a 2.4.24 kernel compiled whith lvm and raid support.
I've configured /etc/raidtab create the raid with mkraid,formatted and
mounted /dev/md0 copied all the os files in there ,configured yaboot
and fstab to start with root=/dev/md0 and make mkofboot -v .
But when i try to reboot the machine hung up , and even if i try to
boot from openfirmware with my zimage on a diskette generated always
whit kernel 2.4.24 with raid support (>0 boot floppy:,zimage
root=/dev/md0 console=ttyS0) i got this message in console:
obviously if i boot from another partition not in raid, everything is
working fine.

does any one know what to do ?, cause i can not figure it out, i've
made several attempt changing the parameter of yaboot.conf recompiling
kernel...
