Re: [CentOS] Autodetecing RAID members upon boot... need to update initrd?

If my assumptions are correct, the onboard drives are detected first, then the arrays assembled, and after the system has passed control from the initrd to boot, THEN the addon controller is detected and hence the third drive (sdc). If I am correct, then I need to update my initrd for the system to see and use that third drive during the boot process. Can anyone lend a few tips or pointers on how to proceed? I essentially need the sata_sil driver to be included in the initrd.

Check the man page for mkinitrd, it's pretty self explanatory. I suggest you back up the existing initrd first, just in case there's a problem.
