However, I can't seem to manage to install a boot loader on the new

mdadm -C -l2 -n2 -x0 --auto=part /dev/raid /dev/hda /dev/hdc

This successfully creates the raid array.

Next, I tried both lilo and grub:
Under lilo, I set "boot" to /dev/raid (didn't work with /dev/hda
either), and root=/dev/raid1. It says I doesn't know how to handle
device 0xfe01



did you create a partition table on this device (i.e. 'fdisk' it and then 'w'?)



Of course I did. Otherwise the term "/dev/raid1" is meaningless. I ran the commands from a chrooted shell on the destination partition.

BTW, creating /dev/raid as a merge of /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdc1 (as opposed to /dev/hda and /dev/hdc) resulted in the same error message. A shame, really.
