Hi All,
I have a AMD-mobo-supported RAID 1+0 array with 4x 1TB disks. Linux mint 14 is installed. But it failed to enter the grub menu or the os because the array is not recognized (there is an error message in the end saying '/dev/mapper/<raid_id>' is missing). I managed to add a line "dmraid -ay" to the beginning of /boot/grub/grub.cfg and now the grub menu is there. Unfortunately, after selecting the menu item, I still can't enter the os. A busybox 'initramfs' was shown. Does anyone know how to let the system call "dmraid -ay" before the startup?
UPDATE:
I bumped into this bug report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/941874
I was able to type "dmraid -ay" in the busybox shell and exit the shell. It then ran normally to the system.
Does anyone know how to automate it so that I don't have to type every time it boots?
Thanks in advance,
-Shawn
