Description Fat Rat Bastard 2005-01-10 10:38:53 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020
Firefox/0.10.1

Description of problem:
I configured a 2.6.10 kernel with raid1 statically-linked (not a
module). When running mkinitrd I get the message:

No module raid1 found for kernel 2.6.10c, aborting.


There is no reference to raid1 in /etc/modprobe.conf.

If I execute mkinitrd with the --builtin=raid1 directive, I get an
initial ram disk that boots and mounts my raid 1 /, swap, and /boot
partitions.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkinitrd 4.1.18

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure/compile 2.6.10 kernel with raid1 statically linked.
2. Use mkinitrd 4.1.18 to make the initial ram disk
3. 
    

Actual Results:  I get message:

No module raid1 found for kernel 2.6.10c, aborting.

Expected Results:  Completes the process of making an initial ram disk
with modules, etc.

We don't really support using kernels that we don't ship, or at the very least
aren't at all built like ours.
