I set both to "y", make -j5 && make -j5 modules_install (as per http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap3as I my distro is Gentoo) and when I boot, I get this error message: "Kernel panic - not syncing: UFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,2)" > > Another alternative could be to set CONFIG_MD_AUTODETECT=n, which would > cause the kernel to not even try to bring up the raid array. I'll now try this. Does it means I should remove my array from my /etc/fstab? Thanks!
