[leglug-users] mdadm raid build during installation with opensuse 10.1 fails

[BashLogic]

greetings,

has anyone fidled with mdadm raid?
ive been fidling with it for a while and came across a nussance.

ive been testing a setup on vmware where i partitioned and created the raid
mirrors using mdadm on
opensuse 10.1 without any glitches.

but when i attempted to install on a physical server which happened to have
different drives models
(partitions were the same size) boot up would fail, "no operating system
found", any ideas?

i tried installing on each of the ide disks separatelly and the
installations worked fine
but it then fails with the mdadm raid.

another prob ive got is that my system, is that the opensuse installation
claims that three disks out of
6 are presented as raid disks while this is not possible since ive disabled
this from the bios, any ideas there?

msi k8n diamond
AMD 3500 Venice
matrox millenium II PCI
1x 17" VGA
1GB RAM GREEN
LG DVD COMBO
2x 60Gb Maxtor IDE 6L060J3 & 96147U8
4x 160Gb Maxtor diamondmax 10 SATA 6L160M0
Linux OpenSuSE 10.1

regards
BL
