FWIW, this step is clearly marked in the Software-RAID HOWTO under "Booting on RAID": http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.3 If it appears that Fedora isn't doing this when installing on a Software RAID 1 boot device, I suggest you open a bug. BTW, I suspect you are missing the command "setup" from your 3rd command above, it should be: # grub grub> device (hd0) /dev/hdc grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) > I shall now be checking all my Fedora/Centos RAID1 installs for grub > installed on both drives. Good idea. Whenever setting up a RAID1 device to boot from, I perform the above 3 steps. I also suggest using labels to identify partitions and testing the two failure modes and that you are able to boot with either drive disconnected. -Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
