On the MSI K8TNEO motherboard, there are two SATA controllers and a two channel EIDE controller. The linux-2.6.6-rc? SATA drivers present the SATA devices as being scsi attached. Using LILO, it is straightforward to get the machine to boot Linux on the first SATA drive. On GRUB, it is less clear.
There are two SATA drives are each partitioned into a 20M and 100G partition. The first is combined on both drives to form a RAID1 partition for /boot. The second is combined on both drives to form a RAID1 partition for /. In /boot/grub/devices.map we see (hd0) /dev/md0 but this isn't really correct since I need grub to recognize the MBR region of /dev/sda. Setting the device map to (hd0) /dev/sda doesn't work because grub-install keeps looking for /dev/md0. So, is there something I'm missing? Is there a way to install GRUB so that if one drives fail that the system can still boot? _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
