Ok thanks for that, am now confused as to where supposed to put my reply doesn't seem to make sense to put it at the bottom now.
what fedora version are you trying to install? F16 AFAIk has some troubles with RAID as said Sorry I had thought I had put it in the subject or the body of my original mail. I'm using fedora 16. So do you suggest I try fedora 15, will fedora 16 be fixed in the ISO? Or some hot fix patch later? If the latter I presume there would be no way to do raid setup at install? in F15 "grub-install /dev/sdb; grub-install /dev/sdc; grub-install /dev/sdd" but until now i saw no information what fedora version you try to install this usually belongs in the initial-post because if i had guessed from the very beginning you are using F16 i had not replied at all Thanks for that, but from what you said about not replying at all, that's not very helpful as how are they supposed to know there is a problem with fedora 16 and raid, I've googled this extensively and not found any mention of this!

When installing the boot loader it gives you the option of master boot record or the raid device so naturally tried both, unsure why it gives you the option for raid device if this is wrong. what fedora version are you trying to install? F16 AFAIk has some troubles with RAID as said i have no single expierience with F16 exepct that a RAID1/RAID10 setup in a virtual machine was upgraded without problems but it is still using GRUB and not GRUB2 How do you install it manually? in F15 "grub-install /dev/sdb; grub-install /dev/sdc; grub-install /dev/sdd" but until now i saw no information what fedora version you try to install this usually belongs in the initial-post because if i had guessed from the very beginning you are using F16 i had not replied at all On 3 Mar 2012, at 12:39, Reindl Harald <h.rei...@thelounge.net> wrote: why do we witch now to top-posting? this destorys readability i heard from some troubles with Fedora 16 and RAID currently no topic for me tried installing it on the raid device this can only be wrong the bootloader can not act with any RAID device that is why /boot needs to be RAID1 or a single disk at boot time it is handeled like a single-disk and that is also why you need to install the boot-loader manually on the other drives to have a bootable machine if your first fails Am 03.03.2012 12:43, schrieb Aero Maxx: I'm having a hard time getting it to install the boot loader have tried installing it on the raid device and also on the master boot record but both fail.
