GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!
GNU GRUB version 1.99~rc1-3
Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-686
and with due process, up comes the Debian login. It worked !
After moving to;
GRUB version 1.99~rc1-3 on
Debian GNU/Linux, with kernel Linux 2.6.32-5-686
with my original RAID array mirror, ( Mode 1, RAID1 RAID-1 )
my MD0 Array, a set of two pata disks, would still not boot.
I deleted the array, resinstalled and the machine succesfully booted as above,
from one disk hde, NO RAID. This is where I am todate.
Next I will get farther up the learning curve regarding setting RAID1 mirrors,
booting and do another reinstall again, bringing in hde and hdg
next time, to create an mdadm RAID1 md0 array.
Well done and a big thank you to whoever, did what.
I saw in the GNU/Linux Debian GRUB 1.99~rc1-3 changelog, so many changes.
I am not sure what you busy people changed to get my situation booting.
I hope this installation-report helps anybody.
Thank you, Regards McTech.
