RAIDFrame and a failed disk; system does not come up...

[Sven Kirmess <Sven.Kirmess@gmx.net>]

I have two SCSI disks in my system which are mirrored
with RAIDFrame.

When I remove the disk which is mentioned last in
/etc/raid1.conf the mirror is configured during boot time
with one failed device. The system comes up.

When I remove the disk which is mentioned first in
/etc/raid1.conf the mirror is _NOT_ configured during
boot time and the system droppes to single user mode.

# cat /etc/raid1.conf
START array
# numRow numCol numSpare
1 2 0

START disks
/dev/sd1p
/dev/sd0p

START layout
# sectPerSU SUsPerParityUnit SUsPerReconUnit RAID_level_1
32 1 1 1

START queue
fifo 100
#


When sd0 is present and sd1 is disconnected I get the
following error message:

/dev/sd0p has a different serial number: 0 112341


Is there a way to have the system come up only from the
second disk? Is that a bug? (I would say so because the
second disk should be detected as not present.)

btw: The devices are fixed in the kernel (SCSI ID 0 -> sd0 and SCSI IS
1 -> sd1).
