So when you bring up a new system, you mark all the partitions as FD? I just tried it and the installer tells me "No Linux partitions were detected. At least one Linux partition is required to hold the root filesystem...." Maybe I am taking your statements too literally. cfdisk shows this: hda1 boot Primary Linux raid autodetect 1003MB hda2 Primary Linux raid autodetect 3000MB hda3 Primary Linux raid autodetect 3000MB hda5 Logical Linux swap 1000MB hda6 Logical Linux raid autodetect 31988MB I can't install this way so I must use partition type 83 right? Also, do you put symbolic links to the images in /boot instead of / like this howto advises?: http://www.linustech.com.cy/linux/HOWTO/lvmraid/lvmraid.html http://www.linustech.com.cy/linux/HOWTO/lvmraid/node9.html Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
