Is /boot on it's own partition, outside of the RAID array? If you are using RAID or LVM, /boot has to have it's own partition.
Wrong. I think it used to be so (8.0), but I have an md root and home similar to the OP with NO separate boot partition. I do think grub has to be installed in the MBR though, as was suggested.
I finally got around to trying this. During install, when I create a logical volume on RAID for /boot, I get the error message: 'You cannot use the mount point "/boot" for LVM.'
Try going to http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_install_SUSE_Linux_on_software_RAID for an article that worked for me. I have 10.3 running on a 1.4TB raid 3 MD partitions, 1 Raid 0, 1 Raid 1 and 1 Raid 5 partition on 4 drives. You do not need an external drive to boot from. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
