Hi,
I've got a problem thats making me bang my head against a wall!
I've upgraded a P4 system from 8.04 to 10.04 and it hangs on boot saying it can't find root (/dev/md0).
ALERT: /dev/md0 does not exist
I've added rootdelay parameters in case it was a timing thing and cat /proc/modules shows raid1 etc. (although no md ??).
I noticed the md and raid1 modules weren't in the /etc/modules and /etc/initramfs-tools/modules - so i added them and did a:
mkinitramfs -o <name> 2.6.32-22-generic
and still no joy
Oddly at the initramfs prompt when I type "reboot" I see it flash up with syncing md devices (or similar) just my /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 are not in the /dev partition (although the individual devices are - /dev/sda1 etc.).
Any ideas? I am up against a deadline on this one, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Sean
