Now I also found that silo-installer postinst knows this, too: # force -t on raid if echo "$bootfs" | grep -q "/dev/md"; then raidinstall=y else raidinstall=n fi If software RAID wasn't supposed to be used on the SILO boot device at all, then this code wouldn't be here. Upon finding that if $raidinstall is set, it runs silo with the -t option), I did that myself and it worked fine. -- 2.
