Greetings all, I'm trying to do a new install of opensuse 10.3 on a new server box. I'd like to have raid1 (mirror) set up with 2 drives. I don't know the full differences between md raid and dm raid, but I followed the instructions on installing md raid on the opensuse wiki, using yast to set up the raid partitions. The problem is the system won't boot on the first reboot after install. I originally set all partitions to be extended (not primary) which didn't boot. So I started over from scratch and set /boot as primary partition with all others, swap, /, /home, etc as extended, but it still won't boot. At this point I had enabled raid in the bios for both sata controllers, but not set up the raid volume in the motherboard raid controller. Switching gears I then tried setting up the dm raid in the bios and yast saw that as an nvidia_sometingorother and I believe that would have installed and booted, but I'm unsure whether or not I should use the dm raid or if the md raid is preferable. My mobo is an ECS C51G-M754. This is my first stab at raid, and would appreciate any advise anyone could give.
