Success. Using the 11.0 installer it is actually possible to configure a full software raid setup, install to it, and boot from it, including the initial reboot while still in the install process where yast reboots and resumes automatically, all without doing anything very manual or strange, and all within the installer. The main trick is just what someone else pointed out in an old post someone just recently linked to: When install reaches the main "Installation Settings" screen, Go into "Booting" section. Go to the "Boot Loader Installation" tab. Go into the "Boot Loader Options" button. Un-select "[ ] Write Generic Boot Code to MBR" Back to the previous screen. Select "Boot from Master Boot Record" and un-select all the rest. That fixed several headaches for me at once, 1 - It installed grub in the mbr of disk 0 , which I used to always do by editing grub manually 2 - It resolved the problem of my manual edits to grub.conf not sticking, by: 3 - I no longer need to edit grub.conf because it now puts something good enough in there on it's own. Not quit exactly what I'd like, but good enough. 4 - Similarly, the most important of my manual edits to menu.lst now happens "good enough if not exactly what I'd like" by itself and I no longer have to edit that file either. 5 - Since boxes successfully reboot on their own now, the boot-installed-system option goes from "necessary to install", to merely "very valuable emergency recovery tool" at least for this context. Such a simple fix I could cry. :) -- Brian K.
