Hi,
I do not maintain the system that is having problem but I have been asked for help and I am trying to understand what the possible solution to their boot problem is.
Basically when they boot the OS via Grub, kernel loads and mounts soft-raid volume in rw mode and panics throwing a message.

I tried choosing failsafe, xen and desktop(default) entries in Grub but all end up kernel panic and same message as above.
I have booted the system with Sysrescue cd. Good thing it detected the soft raid volume and showed that in fdisk o/p. I am also able to mount the /dev/md0(sof raid 1) to a directory in /mnt/
chroot fails
root@sysresccd /mnt/backup % ls -al
root@sysresccd /mnt/backup % ls -al sbin/init
cat etc/SuSE-release
I don't see '/bin' directory in the root directory of mounted raid volume.
Can anyone throw some light or suggest best solution if they have encountered this before?
Thank you!
