Hi, I'm trying to setup a machine with 4 x 500GB disks as a RAID1 of 2 disks and 2 spares. I run FAI 4.0.6 on Debian 7.0. I pasted my disk_config below; at the end of this email. The installation fails at GRUB (see below). If I change BOOT_DEVICE to /dev/sda GRUB installs ok but host doesn't boot (error: fd0 read error at grub boot prompt). I've tried putting /boot on a separate partition outside the RAID but again the machine wouldn't boot to OS. The RAID is created fine: "/dev/md0 457G 737M 433G 1% /target" and "mdadm --detail /dev/md0" output is as expected. Same goes for md1 (swap). Also there rest of the FAI installation finishes OK.
I'm assuming this RAID1 setup is supposed to work or is this a known problem? Any hints/fixes/workarounds?
