hi!
raid 1 arrays: I already have 2 systems running this same raid1 config. 1 sys has 2 120 gb 1 sys has 1 120gb and 1 200gb but matching the raid partitions
this system here that is giving me fits right now has 1 250gb and 1 200gb. I tried it w/a new 250 gb for the 2nd drive but the same results. Will not boot.
in druid, when I am config. the raid arrays, I always create the boot partitions in hda1 and hdc1 and make them primary...maybe I am doing wrong by giving them 200mb instead of 100mb but I do it in the other 2 raided systems I run and no probs.
I then create the sys partitions: hda2 and hdc2
lastly, the swaps as hda3 and hdc3 ...........................
grub: here's what I did/do and here's the results:
linux rescue chroot /mnt/sysimage
/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda ...the complaint/result: /dev/md0 does not have any corresponding drive
I have tried: /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda (as a stab in the dark) it gives the same result
/sbin/grub-install /dev/hdc also produces the same result
I have done the following:
dropped to grub
# grub grub> root (hd0,0) result: Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd grub> setup (hd0,0) result: Checking if: "/boot/grub/stage1" exists ....no "/grub/stage1" exists...yes "/grub/stage2" exists...yes "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists...yes Running: "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"...failed(this is not fatal) "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"...failed(this is not fatal) "install /grub/stage1 (hd0,0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/grub.conf"...suceeded done
I messed w/cmos...oh, enable/disable S.M.A.R.T. Drive....bypassing cd- rom drive...so hd0 be the first boot...nothing changes...just "DISK BOOT FAILURE" etc
thx!

Set it up with the same partitions sizes with no RAID at all. Make sure it boots there - that way you know it's not some hardware weirds.
