Can you throw them into /etc/modules (or similar)? Make sure you put ahci before md. Also, you might need to generate a mdadm.conf ... $ echo 'DEVICE partitions' > mdadm.conf $ mdadm --examine --scan --config=mdadm.conf >> ./mdadm.conf And on debian this would start all those in the config file: $ /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid start Good luck, -Bart -- WebSig: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/sig/
