I'd very much like to do so. Any ideas what I should look for?
$INITRDSTART is empty and the output I see comming out of
'update-initramfs' is:
warn "I am supposed to start $i from the initial ramdisk,"
warn "yet I cannot find the array in the configuration file."
warn "I am thus reverting to starting all arrays."
$INITRDSTART gets set to 'all' and I see:
info "will start all available MD arrays from the initial ramdisk."
Still, 'lsmod' does not show modules 'md_mod' and 'raid1' loaded.
Without actively adding/uncommenting the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
line:
raid1
I get the 'initramfs' prompt.
At that prompt, if I execute:
mdadm --assemble --scan
and ^D after that, the named modules are loaded (directory
/dev/disk/by-uuid shows up) and the boot process continues and finishes as
expected.
Where should I look, what should I look for?
Cheers,
