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 was not able to pass the midpoint when I formatted the root partition (RAID1) with ext3, but it worked fine if I used Reiser on the same partition. I reported this as a bug here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=350992
Did you try to use Reiser on your partition containing /boot?
Huh? All my boxes boot from ext3 on software raid1. All my boxes have /boot on a small raid1 with ext3, all software raid, no fake-raid and any fake-raid options in the bios disabled. My typical setup is anywhere from 4 to 12 identical drives, each with identical partitioning, 3 primary partitions: 1: 128M raid1 /boot ext3 2: 512M raid0 swap 3: remainder raid10 / reiser3 I almost always have to use the "boot installed system" option in the installer and manually edit /etc/grub.conf, /boot/grub/device.map, and /boot/grub/menu/lst, and then run grub --batch http://www.myspace.com/KEYofR +++++[>+++[>+++++>+++++++<<-]<-]>>+.>.+++++.+++++++.-.[>+<---]>++. filePro BBx Linux SCO FreeBSD #callahans Satriani Filk! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
