[Bug 940056] Re: [public] armadaxp net installer fails to properly setup initrd for raid (md)

[dann frazier]

fyi, I'm unable to reproduce. I did two installs, the first like this:

 /dev/sda
      /dev/sda1 -> 256M  /boot, ext2
      /dev/sda2 -> 18G raid
      /dev/sda3 -> 2G  swap
 /dev/sdb
     /dev/sdb1 -> 18G raid

I created a raid1 device w/ /dev/sda2 & /dev/sdb1 using ext4, and
mounted it as /.

My second attempt looked like this:

 /dev/sda
      /dev/sda1 -> 256M  /boot, ext2
      /dev/sda2 -> 18G raid
      /dev/sda3 -> 2G  swap
      /dev/sda4 -> [restofdisk], /, ext4
 /dev/sdb
     /dev/sdb1 -> 18G raid

And I created a RAID10 out of /dev/sda2 & /dev/sdb1 using ext4, mounted
as /home.

I noticed in your syslog that you were using an old installer based on
the 3.0 kernel - can you retest w/ the official/released netboot tarball
for precise?
