I am a intermediate user of Debian an SuSE Linux. But I have a Problem, which I don`t seem to get solved.
(Plz excuse my English, I am currently in german law exams, so everything I say and write should be regarded as nonsense ;).
I want to set up a Software Raid Box with the Raidtools2 in two identical IDE Disks. I followed this tutorial http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/schoppa/raid/woody-raid-howto.html and tried to help myself with the Software-Raid-Howto.
The idea is to install Linux on hda, compile a kernel with raid support, set up the raid on hdb (with hda as the failed-disk 1 in /etc/raidtab), copy the system to raid and then zap the installation on hda.
Everything runs fine until the moment to boot from raid.
The author of my tutorial suggests to create a boot disk first:
dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=2k rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/md0 rdev -r /dev/fd0 0 rdev -R /dev/fd0 1
This disk doesn't work for me. I know that he writes the kernel to fd0. But the system boots from hda, so I guess I didn`t configure Lilo correctly.
Could someone out there plese drop me a few lines 'bout how to setup the lilo-configuration?
Thank you in advance,
Martin from Cologne
