RAID 1 conversion

[Marcos Resendiz <resendiz.marcos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am converting an existing RHEL3 system to RAID1 I have setup
everything that I need to do but I ran into booting errors.  For some
reason I am getting:

mount error 6 mounting
error 2 mounting none
switching to new root
switch root mount failed 22

I have been doin some googling and it appears that it may be the
kernel.  The only problem is that I am not sure why that should be.
This is what I did

uname -a 2.6.9-5.EL
rpm -q kernel
mkinitrd -v --preload=raid1 /root/initrd--2.6.9-EL 2.6.9-EL

then I copied this file to the /boot/ directory
of course I renamed the original xxxx.orig

I edited the grub.conf to use hd1,0 and boot from that kernel
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9x-5.EL    ro root=/dev/md0 panic=10
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL


This all seems right to me, but I am obviously no expert.


Please help

let me know if you need anything
