Hi,
I have a KnoppMyth machine running with kernel 2.6.18-chw-13. I recently installed Raid 1 to all paritions on sda and sdb so the 2 disks now mirror each other.
The thing that I noticed after a got the Raid 1 configured and running was that all my normal init script messages telling me what services were being started during boot up were not shown, in fact I only received about 3 lines of output:
Suspend2 2.2.8.4: Missing or invalid storage location (resume2= parameter). Please correct and rerun lilo (or equivalent) before suspending
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x1

I removed the 'quiet' kernel commandline option to see what difference that would make. I received a lot more output but still no usful messages.

I can only imagine that at some point the messages are being re-directed to some where other than std out.

Any ideas?

PS the messages do not show up in /var/log/syslog either.
