Everything worked smooth during installation, the system boots, the mdx partitions are in their places, did the upgrades, configured the way i wanted, booted several times... all ok. Then i wanted to test the RAID and since its RAID1 i just disconnected 1 drive and started the computer. All what i got is GRUB loading stage 1.5 GRUB loading, please wait... Error 21 Connect the drive back and the system works ok. Disconnect the other drive, then i got GRUB loading stage 1.5 GRUB loading, pleas wait... (hd1,0)/message: file not found and a simple boot menu (in character mode) shows up with the 2 options SUSE LINUX and Failsafe -- SUSE LINUX (no version number) Whatever option i select the system simply reboot Connect the drive back and the system works ok. I expect since i'm using a RAID array the system to work if one of the drives fails otherwise why should i waste the money for a second hdd Now about the array done with yast during installation 2 identical SATA hdds of 320GB connected in IDE compatibility mode On each drive 4 primary partitions linux raid type of 100MB, 5GB, 20GB and rest. Then each 2 of them in a raid1 mounted as /boot, /swap, / and /space Boot enabled from /boot and MBR (not sure what MBR means in this case) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install a fresh opensuse x86-64 on a raid1 array 2.disconnect one of the drives 3.boot the system Actual Results: the system hangs with grub error 21, or the system reboots continuously Expected Results: the system should boot normally -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
