Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 19:32:21 -0400 User-Agent: KMail/1.4.3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT Message-Id: <200307111932.21603.Ocran@gmx.net> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello, For the previos year i have been using the promise fasttrack 100 to controll 4 disks. I mirrored 2 75gig drives and 2 80gig drives. Recently one of the 75 gig drives died on me. This particular mirroring array was the system array. So i replaced the disk with an 80 gig one and duplicated it. Now i an unable to boot with the previos kernel 2.4.19. But i can boot with the 2.4.18 kernel which was provided to be by my distrabution. I have comiled 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 on the machine itself and another machine to see if i could get one of them to work, but i can not. During boot up something like this is listed ataraid/d0 then the partitions are listed. such as ataraid/d0p1 then the drives are listed drive0 is 733XXX mb raid0 consists of 1 drive. That is how it looks with the new disk plugged in. But if i unplug it. it will look like this: drive0 is 733xxx mb drive1 is 733xxx mb <--- this tells me that there is something either in the kernel or in the system that is telling the kernel what the old disk used to be. I am completly lost and hope that someone else has an idea of what i should do. BTW I have compiled my kernel statically, while the distos 2.4.18 was modules, if that makes any difference. Thank you, Paul
