Description of problem: raid1 install fails on FC4. take 2 drives (pata, sata, doesnt matter) partition them both like: hda1: 128mb hda2: swap 1gb hda3: remainder then: md0 = hda1+hdc1 = /boot md1 = hda2+hdc2 = swap md2 = hda3+hdc3 = / installer goes through all the motions up till reboot. after reboot, kernel is unable to mount root (eg, unable to mount device 9,2) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.follow steps above 2. 3. Actual results: unable to mount root device 9,2 Expected results: it should work Additional info: by booting into linux rescue, and rebuilding the initrd, it fixes the problem. so it seems the fedora installer is making an incorrect initrd for raid1.
looks like this is fixed in FC5T1.
