Is / on a RAID0? If so, you need to enable autodetection support in the kernel, which isn't available in the Mandrake kernel. Firstly, write the superblock to the partitions in the RAID, then compile a kernel with RAID0 compiled into it (not as a module). Info on this can be found in the Software RAID HOWTO (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html). Or better yet, take a look at EVMS (http://evms.sourceforge.net/), which not only replaces both software RAID and LVM, it also does them better. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "We like to think of ourselves as the Microsoft of the energy world" -- Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron
