Add the disk driver names in modprobe.conf the ones for system disks in the top half, data disks below. Then run a mkinitrd. Modprobe.conf excerpt: alias scsi_adapter ata_piix alias scsi_adapter0 ahci alias scsi_adapter1 mega_sas alias scsi_adapter2 mpt # mv /boot/init-$(uname -r).img /boot/init-$(uname -r).img # mkinitrd /boot/init-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) That should make an initrd with the drivers necessary to boot your other boxes (of course using your own disk drivers and not mine). -Ross
