Reboot: [E] Kernel hangs on raid1 root partition[1]
Comments/Problems:
The installation failed with the kernel 2.6.8-1-386 and a raid1 root
partition. The kernel hangs[1] with the default initird. To solve the
problem, I booted on a root backup stored on /dev/hdc3. Then I made
a mkinitrd as it's written in the documentation of mdadm. That is to say:
1) add md and raid1 into /etc/mkinitrd/modules
md
raid1
2) change ROOT on /etc/mkinitrd.conf
ROOT=/dev/md0
3) run mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-raid
4) modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to specify to use the initrd I had
created
