[Bug 358255] Re: [jaunty] Root on nvidia raid 1 mirror does not boot

[Deric Crago]

I'm also experiencing the same type of problem.  I have found a work-
around, although I'm unsure of any implications.

$ uname -r
2.6.28-11-server

$ lspci | grep RAID
00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801FR/FRW (ICH6R/ICH6RW) SATA Controller (rev 03)

~$ dmraid --version

dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc15 (2008.09.17)
device-mapper version:  unknown

$ sudo dmraid -s

Here's the work-around I'm using:

Modified /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/dmraid to read:

#!/bin/sh

# local-top script for dmraid.

PREREQS=""
prereqs()
{
        echo $PREREQS
}

case $1 in
# get pre-requisites
prereqs)
        prereqs
        exit 0
        ;;
esac

# Activate any dmraid arrays that were not identified by udev and vol_id.
#for dev in $(dmraid -r -c); do
#       dmraid-activate $dev
#done

# Adding this seems to work.
sleep 2
dmraid -ay


then ran `update-initramfs -u` and after a reboot it booted right up and no longer went to busybox.
