Hi, I'm having some trouble setting up a RAID1 on CentOS 5.9. I'm using this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-se...ing-system-incl-grub-configuration-centos-5.3 After installing Grub on the second hard drive (hdc in my case) and rebooting the system I get the login screen but i can't login as root (i added new user but it doesn't work) When i'm using mode single, i see passwd, i also changed password but it doesn't work. When i reboot many times my system, i can't login as root and other users. I can't use LVM. Ssh doesn't work. Putty will close right after I try to log in just as if I was logging out. My config files: /etc/fstab Code: /dev/md1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/md4 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/md2 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/md0 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/md3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /boot/grub/menu.lst Code: default=0 fallback=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-348.el5) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-348.el5 ro root=/dev/md1 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-348.el5.img title CentOS (2.6.18-348.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-348.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.18-348.el5.img fdisk -l Code: Disk /dev/hdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 127 1020096 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc2 128 19249 153597465 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc3 19250 25623 51199155 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc4 25624 38909 106719795 5 Extended /dev/hdc5 25624 27663 16386268+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc6 27664 38909 90333463+ fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320044269568 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38909 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 127 1020096 83 Linux /dev/sda2 128 19249 153597465 83 Linux /dev/sda3 19250 25623 51199155 83 Linux /dev/sda4 25624 38909 106719795 5 Extended /dev/sda5 25624 27663 16386268+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 27664 38909 90333463+ 83 Linux Disk /dev/md0: 1044 MB, 1044512768 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 255008 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md1: 157.2 GB, 157283713024 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 38399344 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md2: 52.4 GB, 52427816960 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 12799760 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md3: 16.7 GB, 16779444224 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 4096544 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md4: 92.5 GB, 92501377024 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 22583344 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes This was my tenth try. Any ideas? Please help me, when you can. I have no idea where the problem is.
