Ok ... I had posted awhile back about how to get a FC5 system setup for raid 1 with LVM. I thought I had it. I installed everything started out by defining identical partitions (type raid), then created the raid partitions and mount points, then created the LVM with a mount point of / Now ... it came up, ran fine, had to be rebooted for some reason, then when it came up that time it would not boot. I fixed one shortcoming in the /etc/grub/grub.conf file ... it was not pointing to /md0 as the boot partition. So now .. it boots fine, but when it goes to locate /proc, /sys, and a couple other locations it runs into the problem of NOT being able to find them. It does find the LVM ... saying it has located it, but ... then it can not find those other locations that it needs information from. grub.conf shown below: default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core 5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp ro root=/dev/md0 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.img Like I said above, it does find the /boot partition now, but once it gets past this file it seems to choke. I have the feeling I need something in my fstab to make this all work? LABEL=/VolGroup00/LOGVol00/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/md0 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/md1 swap swap defaults 0 0 Now ... /dev/md2 and /dev/md3 do not show up here and they are what make up LogVol00 ... Any suggestions or thoughts? I have searched the web extensively and I can find the same error repeating itself along the way for others, but no CLEAR solution to it. I need to get this system back up and booting so I can use it for work ... sooooo ... any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance ... Randy.
