One question:
During the install, do I install grub on sda or md0?
Install grub on sda and sdb. Installing GRUB on the mbr of both disks ensures that your system can still boot if one disk has failed.
Although the Linux OS sees those two drives as a software raid1, GRUB looks at a single drive when booting.
When you boot to your rescue CD, check the metadata version of your raid1 array. You might reply back with the output from "mdadm -D --scan"
This is simliar to what I saw when using an unsupported metadata (too new for the GRUB version). If you didn't set up any partitions by hand, I would expect Anaconda set the proper metadata version.

I don't get a grub so I can't issue "c" .

Hi,
Hi,
I have a server with 2 disks. Installed centos 5.9 with raid1. I created /dev/md0 to hold "/" and /dev/md1 for swap and nothing else. Grub is installed on /dev/md0. After the successful installation, the server does not boot. I don't see the boot loader . I see a blank cursor blinking.
What have I done wrong?
have you paid attention on 'Section Two' here?
