I just bought a new machine and installed the new debian on it. It has 2 drives and I wanted to run software raid on them so I was really impressed when it came up as an install option. The problem is, now I can't always boot: as far as I can work out (after about 10 attempts, so it does seem to be fairly consistent) the pattern is that on a reboot the machine fails to find the bootloader, but on a cold start following power off the machine does find the bootloader. Once booted, everything seems to be fine - except that dmesg reports a BIOS problem with pnp.
Googling around tells me that the BIOS warning is probably unrelated and safe to ignore, and that there were historical problems with grub as bootloader on raid systems. Is there anything I can do about this? Or should I use LILO instead? Or could I have flaky hardware? I'm completely new to raid, so any advice in baby steps, please... :-) Thanks Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
