    Subject2.4.12 cannot find root device on raid
    Hi!
    
    I have the following problem:
    
    kernel 2.4.12, md and raid1 compiled into the kernel.
    /dev/hdb old linux installation
    /dev/md0 -> /dev/hde1,/dev/hdg1 new installation
    
    When I boot my old installation the md device is automatically configured
    by the kernel and I can mount it (reiserfs) without any problems.
    
    When I try to boot the new installation with the same kernel the md device
    is initialized, but the kernel cannot mount the root device. I get msgs
    about FAT problems and about mounting root as msdos.
    
    Here some config files:
    lilo.conf:
    image = /boot/lx-2.4.12
    	root = /dev/hdb1
    	label = old
    image = /boot/lx-2.4.12
    	root = /dev/md0
    	label = new
    	optional
    
    Thanks a lot for any information
    
    Best wishes
    
    Norbert
