           Summary: Bootloader installation is incorrect when mixing RAID
                    and non-RAID on the same system
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Final
          Platform: 64bit
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: YaST2

My system has one SATA disk that is non-RAID and was configured to hold the
three partitions: /, /boot and swap. In addition to this I have a pair of disks
using an HP SATA RAID controller configured to act as a mirror and mounted as
/usr/local. Whilst most of the installation worked fine, the bootloader
installation failed repeatably. I eventually tracked down the issue to the
first disk /dev/sda being omitted from devices.map in the grub configuration
causing the installation to be attempted against the wrong disk. Since the
target partition was not there, this obviously failed. The work around was to
use the option to edit the config files and add in the missing disk to the
device map, but obviously this should not be needed. If you'd like any more
information let me know.
