We've got the same kind of lilo.conf (no md=... option) and it works here for vanilla to 2.4.10 and -ac to 2.4.12-ac3 (no vanilla 2.4.12 tested in a raid setup, surprise !). I would test 2.4.13-prex before modifying lilo.conf. -- Ueimor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
