swestrupWell, I can hand assemble and re-lilo my webserver, but it doesn't help. It still dies with the exact same 'L 9A 9A 9A...' error.
My guess is that the kernel is unable to restart my raid drives, so lilo can't load its second stage. I know that if I ask either raidstart or mdadm to start up my raids then I get nonsensical errors (things like '/dev/sda5 not found').
If I use mdadm and list the actual devices on the command line like: mdadm -A /dev/md5 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5
It creates the raid without problem and the resulting device has a perfectly valid filesystem and everything. So, what might be going wrong with the autmated assembly? Any help here would be appreciated.
PS. I was right not to try any more last night...
