In the case of fresh install; would it be an option to start over from scratch?
This was a fresh install. [...] I am wondering if the problem is something crazy like the fact that the RAID pair I'm using is on sdc and sdd, and something somewhere is assuming that I'm using sda and/or sdb (which actually are a RAID1 pair with Kubuntu on them).
I'm thinking about simply pulling the plug on sda and sdb, and performing a completely fresh install again so that there's no chance whatsoever that at any point in the process can it go to sda or sdb by mistake.
Hmm, i thought that /etc/mdadm.conf should take care of that.
I ask this, because then it would be a lot easier to list all the neccesary steps one by one and hopefully get it running as wished in the first place. I'm willing to dig up some spare HDD's to try and get Arch installed on a RAID1 array, right from the start, but only if that is what you're looking for.
That is indeed what I'm looking for.
Let me try one last time; I don't want to drag any one else into the morass that I'm currently experiencing unless it's absolutely necessary. I just need to get my enthusiasm up to the point where I'm willing to spend another hour or two trying it again.
Ok. I guess you'd best contact me off-list if we are going side-by-side. If/when we find something wrong in the wiki we could report back here. mvg, Guus
