#1 Boot/rescue support for root-raid

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I run Debian Woody with a reiserfs root-raid1 configuration and kernel-2.4.17-k6.

I'm desperately seeking a boot/rescue disk creation system that will allow me to recover from the
situation of a damaged MBR on /dev/hda.

None of the boot/rescue systems I've seen so far are capable of generating the minimal initrd I
require with md, raid1 and reiserfs support.

If yours can, I'd like to know.

Unfortunately, Yard doesn't (yet) use or create
an initial ramdisks (initrd) so it can't do this per se.

On the other hand, I don't know why you necessarily
need an initrd for this since by definition you won't
be booting off your hard disk. So include the necessary
modules on the bootdisk, modprobe them manually and
this should be OK.

Or maybe I misunderstand the requirements of raid.
