Hi, While fooling around on a spare drive with install options on Suse 9.0... I choose the Raid option.
Now the bootloader defaulted to Lilo while on a normal install it defaults to Grub.
Please...could there be any reason for that.
Being a Grubby ...tried and was able to make a grub install and booting.
Thanks
To my knowledge it seems that lilo is more "RAID friendly" than grub. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, a working configuration of grub + RAID would be great. The official Linux software RAID howto seems to hint towards using lilo as well.. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.3 "The author does not yet know of any easy method for making the Grub boot-loader write the boot-records on all disks of a RAID-1. Please share your wisdom if you know how to do this."
