Ok, I'll have to make a boot partition on another device then until grub supports current superblock formats. I don't want to recreate the raid1 again. Can I use a removable media like a CD or an USB stick for a boot partition or to boot from and remove it once booting has completed? The mainboard has only 6 SATA ports to which 5 disks and a DVD drive are connected ... Whatever I use, how do I create the bootable media or the boot partition I need? Isn't there a tool that I can simply tell what my root partition is going to be and it just installs grub (or whatever else works) on an USB device or a CD or a disk so that things just work? _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
