No base partitions, thus no RAID. Good, thanks, that's progress. Might be good for md to report that that a little better (see screenshot). Oh, duh, I moved /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf out of the way. So it doesn't even know I have a RAID until it autodetects it, right? Oh, wait, in this initramfs environment there is an /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, and it shows UUID and the 4-way RAID1. What, so the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf inside the initrd is not from the kernel package but was built locally? Didn't realize that. Perhaps if I could figure out how to grab the dmesg output from initramfs environment, I could then compare the amd64 kernel output to the 686-bigmem kernel output... :-/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
