Just installed SuSE 11.3 onto a machine with 2 disks in RAID1.

Unlike the 11.1 machine on which I am typing this email, it wouldn't
let me install grub, etc to /boot if that partition was RAID-ed.

I found:

http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/451316-opensuse-11-3-installation-raid1-two-disks.html

But this confuses me. 11.1 let me "just do this", whereas 11.3 complains.

Is it necessary to do the editing of grub or no?

Was there some change in this respect between 11.1 and 11.3?

I ended up making /boot non-raid, which is slightly unfortunate,
as the point of RAID1 (for me anyway) is failover and its kind
of nice to think that the bootloader and kernel are "protected"
in the same way as /home, etc..

TIA.
