Hrm. I can see that would work, now..
Thanks for the tip, which renders my patch useless :-p.
(Nah, the patch makes the stage2 simulator work with
device-mapped devices, so I guess it can still be used for
those... without a floppy disk? Or on a remote terminal.. or
something :-).)

It must be severely broken; since if it just sticked to writing to the

the physical disk.

Um, GRUB works fine for me, even on totally crazy RAID systems not yet
supported by dmraid. There is a well-kept secret you need to know:
You can install GRUB just fine IFF you boot from a GRUB boot floppy.
NEVER (except for trivial configurations) use the GRUB
Thanks for the explanation!
There should be an option in the GRUB configuration to do this, so
that the RAID won't get overwritten the next time I do a grub-install,
I think.
That would make my life a lot easier! On the other hand, the most
straight forward thing to do would be to move the

I'm delving into GRUB bughunting now.
GRUB 0.96 is apparently sensitive to the order in which device xxx
commands are entered. Sounds horrid, aye...
Ie. typing:
grub device (hd0) /dev/xxx
grub device (hd0,5) /dev/yyy
Is a completely different thing to typing:
grub device (hd0,5) /dev/yyy
grub
grub device (hd0) /dev/mapper/hpt37x_ehgjaggaf
grub device (hd0,5) /dev/mapper/hpt37x_ehgjaggaf6
grub root (hd0,5)/boot
Attempt to open drive 0x80 (/dev/mapper/hpt37x_ehgjaggaf6)
Error 5: Partition table invalid or corrupt
grub root (hd0,5)/boot
