A little google search turned up this : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GRUB has two big problems: The first problem with GRUB is that it does not work well with software raid. anaconda is prepared to correctly install GRUB at install time but later installs with 'grub-install' fail. The 'grub-install' script only supports floppy and IDE/SCSI harddisks, no MD device. The second problem with GRUB is that if you have mirrored disks and the first disk fails, you end up in a non bootable system because the second disk does not contain a valid MBR. LILO handles this correctly, I mean if you tell LILO to install on /dev/md0, it will install an MBR on every disk which is part of /dev/md0. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Now I have switched over from Grub to Lilo on this server due to the above problem. This little info might be helpful to somebody who is thinking of going for raid on Red Hat System. Install LILO rather than GRUB as boot loader.
