Description of problem:
Hi,

Apparently the mkinitrd command does not create the initrd file (the ramdisc)
correctly to reflect the "root on raid" situation. Problems found:

1) /dev/md0 devices was missing in the initrd file
2) raidautorun /dev/md0 statement was missing in linuxrc file
3) mount --ro -t ext3 /dev/root /sysroot was not correct
   (--default option was used in addition, don't know
    if this is important)
4) umount /proc statement was missing. umount /initrd/proc
   was used in stead.

Please find below the working and the non-working files.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. using command: mkinitrd -v -f --fstab=./fstab --with=raid1
/boot/initrd-2.4.18-19.8.1.img 2.4.18-19.8.0
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  According to my list "Problems found"

Expected Results:  - linuxrc file should be created according to my posted
working version
- /dev/md0 should be included in initrd.img
