Description Roy Walker 2005-08-16 11:17:21 UTC

When booting with a raid 1 dmraid mirror the dm_mirror module is not loaded so
you get an error.  Only was to fix it was to build device mapper and dm mirror
support directly into the kernel (which it didn't like very much and finally got
it to go).  This should be loaded if dodmraid is passed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create raid1 setup with dmraid.
2.  Try to boot it.

Actual Results:  
Got error unknown type mirror.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the dm_mirror module from the initramfs.
