At one time there was a problem having /boot on raid, and its been a while since I had to reconfigure a fresh box, so I don't know if this is still the case.
With lilo it works fine, but I don't know about grub.
It doesn't work with grub. With RAID and also LVM, /boot has to be on a regular partition.
Here LVM is the problem, not RAID-1.
With RAID-1 via md and no LVM, /boot on a mirrored ext3/ext4 filesystem definitively works with grub. We use it since several years, and had enough disk errors to prove it working. One needs to take care that grub bootloader is installed on both disks, though, openSUSE doesn't do this itself during installation. Extra robustness comes with stanzas that name both disks, in case hd0 is not visible to the BIOS any more and hd1 suddenly gets hd0.

I was wondering about that. Also, the boot menu points to a specific kernal. How does that get updated with RAID 1? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
