With mdadm in your initrd, you don't need to specify the parameters of the array in Grub. Foregoing that, the first parameter passed to the "md" option is the type of raid array (e,g, 0, 1, 456) and not the number of devices in the array. Sounds good, otherwise.
Dave,
Sorry I am confused. Are you saying that I should not do as Baho suggested to my Grub's menu.lst? So what now? I am really lost. I am being told to not add any 'mdadm' and 'raid1' modules & hooks into my system configuration because it needs to be done in Grub. But it seems to me now you're telling me I should not have to mess with Grub. I just want a simple RAID1 mirror on my system and the Wiki is a complete mess and not working for me.
Sorry for any confusion on my part, but the way I have described to you is the old way and I have not it fail on me. I have never been able to get raid to boot using the mdadm line in the initrd, so I use the old way which always works for me. I don't like to be constantly messing with my systems, I just what them to work.
