Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkinitrd-3.5.13-1a [mkinitrd-3.5.13-1 + patch] How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot server 2. 3. Actual Results: the meta devices /dev/md0 /dev/md1 /dev/md2 /dev/md3 doesn't start Additional info:
It's possible the kernel doen't know how to autostart multipath devices. mkinitrd doesn't do these as such by default, though and it's not something I can really support.
