The installation is with debootstrap from the rescue prompt. Then I chroot into the installation, adjust my settings and install grub2. It asks to what devices I want to install, and I always choose /dev/sda and /dev/sdb > Did you run update-grub in a chroot to create a grub configuration file > in /boot/grub and did you check it ? Yes. After the installation of grub which does already do all that, I have done update-grub, grub-install, and checked the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file. I've checked the disk/raid UUID's, compared them and it's all ok. I made sure the correct UUID is placed in my /etc/fstab also to load boot. Same method of install works offline in Virtualbox. > Note that GPT is only required on disks larger that 2 TiB. But it's so > cool even on smaller disks.

I've tried an installation with the OVH installer, and it chose GPT for the disks too, and it booted.

Yeah but one gets a bit paranoia after trying install after install and seeing how this install works locally but not on a dedicated server :) Thanks for the info, Regards, Bene -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
