I'm so embarassed to admit I hadn't.
It turns out that I also had to install package mdadm. I installed it so I could inspect the situation and maybe get a clue as to why it did not work. But it turns out that just installing it made the difference. I though it was to administer md systems -- create, adjust, and the like. It turns out it is also used at boot time to recognise existing ones. So the conclusion: To get the existing software RAID to be recognised, install mdadm. To get the existing LVM partitions on the RAID to be recognised, you likely need lvm-common, lvm2 and lvm10. (Don't know for sure; I didn't try uninstalling them to see it fail after I got it all working) -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
