GRUB currently can't boot off of RAID partitions. Either use LILO or boot from a non-RAID Partition.
Though this is accepted wisdom on this list it is not true. I have Dell Poweredge servers booting off hardware raid using grub. The initial problems I had, (see thread "Suse 8.1 install hangs loading aacraid on Dell 2650 with LSI perc 4/Di") were solved by upgrading the kernel to k_smp-2.4.19-163 Changing the boot loader to lilo proved to be a furphy. FWIW the grub website makes no mention of problems with raid. michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166
