(here is another question that relates to the same box of which ive enquired allready earlier in other posts)

I just installed the minimal installation on the ide drives using raid md i created three partitions on both disks and created raid on them + the file system, (same process as what i have done on other systems flawlessly) raid1 md0 1gb /boot raid1 md1 20gb / raid1 md2 2gb SWAP raid5 md3 460gb /data

now after the installation is done and peforms its first boot, on boot the system says "no operating system found"

i installed the same base system without md raid on the first disk with the same partitions, and i didnt face any boot problems

the hardware amd 3500 1gb ram msi k8n diamond ide mactor 60gb 6l060j3 ide maxtor 60gb 96147u8 sata 4x maxtor 160gb 6l160m0

any ideas of what is goin wrong?

Don't RAID the /boot directory. Create it on both disks as a standalone, non-RAID partition. Routinely copy the main drive's /boot partition to the backup drive's /boot partition. Since it doesn't change much except with kernel updates, grub menu.lst changes, etc you won't be making too many copies.
