if i do a install to a md software raid with the 2005.0 stage3 stage file, i cant boot becus the md devices nodes are missing from the " /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2" file Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. soulotion that works boot the system and anter root pw when it complains about the root filesystem. remount filesystem to rw. do a MAKEDEV md in /dev use tar to make a new file to replace /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2 sync remount to ro and reboot.
Those files are not there on purpose. The udev tarball is designed only for drivers that are not sysfs-aware and should not contain any files required for boot. I am willing to bet that your raid configuration is the issue. Did you use auto-config or are you using a raidtab file?
I'll close this as NEEDINFO, as the reporter does not answer. dizzey: Please reopen if you finaly provide the information.
