Now that LILO hs been deprecated (in openSUSE), I thought I'd better be getting up to speed on GRUB. I've been trying out 11.1Alpha1 on both PATA and SATA RAID-setups in bog standard installations, and I'm not getting anywhere, i.e. I cannot make the system boot properly. In fact, GRUB doesn't even seem to be getting installed - on my PATA system I still get a LILO bootup.
I've already filed the appropriate bugreports, but this can't possibly be such an unusual config, so I was just wondering what magical incantations I need to get GRUB+RAID to work? (as far as GRUB goes I'm a total newbie, so be kind).
Per,
One thing to watch out for is that if /boot is on a RAID partition, then GRUB needs to be installed in the MBR. (I'm assuming this is standard linux software RAID, and not a real RAID card.)
Thanks Don, I wasn't aware of that. I've just tried another install, and made sure GRUB got installed in the MBR (on /dev/hda - is it automagically also done on dev/hdc?). Well, it didn't get me much further - I still got my old a LILO bootup, but the root file only got mounted as read-only. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
