Is udev creating the required /dev/md* and /dev/mapper/*? If yes, try the mdadm and lvm commands in /sbin. If the above two work, perhaps adding a rootdelay=x to the kernel line will fix your problem because it might just be a question of timing.

They are created when I run /sbin/mdadm (/dev/md0 and /dev/md1) and /sbin/lmv (/dev/mapper/*) manually. When I run mdadm -A --scan I get an error about /dev/urandom When I run mdadm -A /dev/md0 or /dev/md1 it creates the devices and activates the array. <div class="moz-signature">-- <meta content="text/html; " http-equiv="content-type"> <title>Signature</title> Robert Steinmetz, AIA Principal Steinmetz & Associates</div> </body> </html>
