I'm not even sure that this old rig is EFI capable :) And secondly I'm too lazy to learn it since for the servers that I use 4 primary partitions is the most I'm going to use and the other gizmos and gadgets that EFI has are also overkill. :) And I'm somewhat old school, I don't believe that the computer itself should have a full fledged operating system embedded on it. I'm from the Kickstart Disk generation. Basic Input Output System, just get it to the state where the operating system can take the computer over and then vanish. But at the end I'm very reluctant to use something that is embedded on the machine and has the touch of MICROSOFT on it. :p On Wed, 2013-12-18 at 10:08 -0600, William Harrington wrote: > Did you use optimizations while building grub? > > Sincerely, > > William Harrington Yup. -O3 -march=native. And that said, something comes into my mind that I've read somewhere that grub does not play well with -O3. Thanks. Will try that on Friday.

And I have this obsessive compulsive 'optimization' behavior and not using raid on the boot here would leave me a partition of 200MB barren on one of the HDs and that would bother me a lot :). It would rob me of my sleep at night. But I have to admit that this is the first time that I'm using metadata version 1.2 on the boot partition. Until now I've always used v1.0. But I didn't prepare this machine, my young apprentice did, and I was just to lazy to rectify it. And I wanted to see what happens. :) Thanks all. Will keep you informed after I try compiling grub without optimizations on. Regards...
