Hi,
I'm trying to stick a fresh install of 2008.06 on an Nforce3 system using the NVRaid controller, everything was fine with previous installs using 2008.03, but the new release isn't going quite as well.
I'm using the USB images (tried core and FTP), both boot fine and once dhcp is up and running I can install dmraid fine.
Running dmraid -ay throws up no errors, but afterwards there's no array in /dev/mapper, the directory doesn't exist at all.
Has there been some change in the new images I'm unaware of or does anyone have any idea how I can get this install up and running?

I receive a message in my machine when I run lilo.../sbin/lilo -v... which complains about a missing device-mapper driver in the kernel.
Your dilemma is probably due to the same missing device-mapper....?

Yeah, I got the same missing device-mapper message while tinkering about trying to get it to work last night.

I addressed an e-mail to TPOWA mentioning the difficulty. I expect he will have an answer soon....

Searched for device-mapper and found same in /var/abs/base.
Therein is a pkgbuild for device-mapper...perhaps it is now how to install device-mapper?

did you load the relevant dm/md modules?
The suggestion box only accepts patches.

What you probably need is to add 'dm_mod' to your MODULES line in mkinitcpio.conf.
Edit> No, Sorry about that, you only need to load it when installing.

I had the same issue loading a SIL-based raid0. Fixed it by loading dm_mod, not sure if any other modules were required as I was already running a md raid0 array.

Thank you for confirming this.
sata_sil would be needed too, but that might have been autoloaded already.
