geninitrd fails if softraid partition (mdXpY) used as rootfs

[qwiat]

I get "ERROR: RAID devices not found for "/dev/md0p1", check your configuration!" if softraid partition (mdXpY) is used as rootfs:

Try to replace mod-md.sh with this one and retest:
http://svn.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/svn/geninitrd/trunk/mod-md.sh?view=markup&pathrev=12071

[qwiat (qwiat)]

New mod-md.sh works fine, but there is problem with generated initrd in boot: time:

mdadm: /dev/md0p1 is not valid name for md device - ignored.
Segmentation fault

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz (arekm)]

Publish initrd somewhere or linuxrc and /etc/mdadm.conf contents from that initrd.

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz (arekm)]

Another version to test:
http://svn.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/svn/geninitrd/trunk/mod-md.sh?view=markup&pathrev=12087

Post geninitrd -v ... output here.

Initrd image is not generated

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz (arekm)]

Are you sure that you use geninitrd and mod-md.sh from svn trunk? Here with your mdadm --scan... output works fine:

geninitrd: Finding RAID details using mdadm for rootdev=/dev/md0p1
geninitrd: md: found rootdev=/dev/md0p1 on device /dev/md0 with devices list /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz (arekm)]

Use geninitrd-10000.32-0.2, should be in th-test soon.
