Which RAID? RAID 5 or RAID 6? And wich filesystem? Reiser3 is the biggest filesystem in GRUB 2. That was always a problem with a too big core.img ext3/ext4 should work. -- karmic alpha: grub2 core.img with mdraid & lvm too big to embed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
