[ATrpms-users] Question about boot process

Hi.

Sorry if this isn't related to ATrpms ; but you guys are so
knowledgeable I thought it was better to ask here.


I have a CentOS box that keeps failing to boot from time to time.

The hard drive is a RAID1 array using the Intel fakeraid.

When it boots, it always show the message:
"No RAID sets with with names isw_cdffieicej_RAID"

and I will then see a "failed to stat"

Problem is my RAID array name, isn't this, it's isw_blah_hd.
If I boot using the CentOS 5 rescue CD, it will correctly see my
drives and mount them like:
/dev/mapper/isw_cdffieicej_hdp3 /mnt/sysimage etc...

So my question is: where does it cache the name of either the RAID
array or the device currently used to boot?
It keeps referring to the _RAID bit (which was the name of my RAID a while ago).

I ran a search in /etc and /boot , but no _RAID anywhere.

Thank you
Jean-Yves
