I was trying to see if I could get grub 2 to work with software raid and found that while grub-setup and grub-install seemed to recognize md devices and installed grub 2 on the mbr of at least one of the two drives that are part of the array I was trying to boot, it did not recognize them during the boot process. Grub would come up in rescue mode and ls would only list the normal disk partitions. This was still true after loading the raid module. Since the arrays I have are raid 1, I was able to load the configfile module and boot up the system. I used a copy of grub 2 that I downloaded from cvs last night. I am not sure if this is a bug, or if I just didn't do something right. I didn't find any examples of how to actually install grub 2 when using software raid. The box was a dual athlon with 2 pata disks with multiple partitions and several raid arrays using raid one between corresponding partitions on the disks. The OS I am booting to is Fedora Core 5.
I am interesting in either getting directions on how to properly install grub 2 on this system, or suggestions for helping debug the problem if it is an actual error in grub. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
