The copying > over onto the degraded raid using disk2. I'm fast gravitating towards this option ... Although with metadata 0.90 I was able to progress with the installation (after I deselected the swap partitions) the grub-install script wanted to install in /dev/md127p1 but it failed. I had to override the Ubuntu installer since I could only install grub in the /dev/md127 block device. BTW, I'm still at a loss as to why for Ubuntu the RAID 1 is seen as /dev/md127 and not /dev/md0 which I created originally with sysrescuecd. Either way, it won't boot again. Now it stays on a blank screen, no error at all shown. I'll have another go with sysrescueCD to see if I install grub on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and if this does not work either, I'll stop wasting time and follow your suggestion of installing on a single disk first, before I mirror it thereafter. -- Regards, Mick
