I guess this is your main problem. Start locating the
disks before doing any assembling.
Which /dev/sd[a-z]2 do you have?
How are the disks connected to which controllers?

I've managed to boot up using systemrescuecd and I've managed to get the RAID1
boot (/dev/md0) partition to mount.
I've also looked at the RAID5 swap partition that I had forgotten about and
that looks fine.
The problem is with the main RAID5 device /dev/md2 which should consist of 5

Remember that if you use old ATA disks, the slave often gets completely
braindead if the master on the same chain dies. Because of this, your
boot device should be striped over two master disks (on 2 different
chains of course).
If this is your case (striping over slave and master on the same chai

Why use RAID0 for the boot partition? That means that a failu
Hi folks,
I've got a PC with 5x500GB HDD's running software raid. On drive 0 and 1 I
had RAID0 for the boot partition and then on all 5 drives I had RAID 5 for

rebooted it couldn't get past GRUB. I
