/Dear All,

I would like to renew my request for help with this wiki:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1

Still stuck on EM : dracut warning: No root device "block:/dev/md_dop3" 
found.
I think this is a bit of a pain to troubleshoot, because

* to change anything, I have to chroot to /mnt/sysimage every time.
* googling this, I see a a threat marked solved here :
https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/print.php?form=1&topic_id=43676&forum=55&order=ASC&start=0

but I can't access it.

So far I tried this :

*  http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2013-March/133176.html

so i ran  dracut --mdadmconf initramfs.......

but that did change anything

* 
http://grokbase.com/t/centos/centos/133qevz1d8/cant-find-root-device-with-lvm-root-after-moving-drive-on-centos-6-3
also mentions an almost empty /dev/mapper,
so I am now trying to make a correct symlink in /dev/mapper in order to 
be able to boot the system.

So far I haven't found the right one.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Many thanks.

J./
