Small downtime

When trying to install a new kernel, we got an error where initrd would apparently failed to setup RAID correctly, but unfortunately it was not possible to get the exact error message via the remote serial interface. For now we're back to the old kernel.

| initrd -- mkinitrd ? (posted by Aurélien DESBRIÈRES, Wed Dec 19 17:51:11 2007) |
Are you speaking about mkinitrd ?
when, i update the kernel, i update the mkinitrd first. because if it's not on ... it will not fit well.
...
cd /
and all fit well
so no wrong message ... |

In this case, we installed the Debian linux-image-2.6.22-3-vserver-686 package from backports.org. The post-install process normaly takes care of creating the initrd image - and it did create /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-vserver-686.
To recap: I had managed to load the system, but all the additional partitions didn't mount. Then I changed AUTOSTART=true in /etc/default/mdadm; in that configuration, initrd loaded but failed to load the root filesystem and got stuck with a length error message that the virtual remote console doesn't let us fully inspect. We're waiting for a intervention at the collocation to have somebody watch the physical screen now ;)
