Just got a new box with 2 identical SATA drives.
Followed (as best as my poor eyes could see the screenshots) the advice given at

(first time trying the RAID thing)
Everything pretty much went as expected, but the system would not reboot from the HD(s) at the midpoint of the install.
I then discovered the moment in "install" where one has the opportunity to do "select mode: other" and boot from installed system, and the installer picked up again just fine. (booting from /dev/md2)
So, all seems well until I try rebooting normally. The thing hangs just where you would expect grub to take over. Repeatedly. Trying through the installer with the above trick works again but... that's not really an acceptable system.
fdisk -l shows the following, but also emits a bunch of
Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md2 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md3 doesn't contain a valid partition table
Wonder what that means......
It means that each multi-disk (md) pseudo-device listed does not contain a valid partition table. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
