Grub Loading software raid.
Hello folks, I have built a system with Debian software RAID-1 and everything works great until you pull a drive and try to boot, the system just hangs at Grub loading If I pop the drive back in the system will boot normally then do # mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdb it adds the drive and begins the rebuild, as shown by cat /proc/mdstat I installed the boot loader to the second drive by doing # grub-install /dev/sdb Then checked the disks; # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000a1072 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 121602 976760832 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000a4dbb Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 121602 976760832 fd Linux raid autodetect But still when I remove the drive it just hangs at Grub loading and doesn't go any further, what am I doing wrong?

By the way, there is already a Debian package of the Dotfile Generator. It is in unstable (codename hamm). I am not sure whether it has reached the stable distribution yet. Check it out at one of the Debian FTP mirrors. :) Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling[EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineeringhttp://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, CanadaKeep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Thanks Patrick Hi Patrick! Dselect is only for *.deb files, and even then you need a package.gz file with the descriptions of the package (for own .deb files you need a program called scanpackages or so). You have a file *.tar.gz, this is a different format. I don't think we have a debian package with the dotfile generator, but don't give up. Here is how to go: Check if you have a directory /usr/local/src, if not, do (with root) # mkdir /usr/local/src Then go there with # cd /usr/local/src copy your dotfile.tar.gz in this directory. Do you have it on the hard disk? # cp /whereever/dotfile.tar.gz . or on your msdos floppy? # mcopy a:dotfile.whatever . (you need mtools installed for this) Then you do a # tar -tzf dotfile.tar.gz and check the contents (it scrolls on the terminal) to unpack, do a # tar -xzf dotfile.tar.gz then the files will be extracted out of the archive. But check the path of the files in the tar-archive! If they have no path, make a proper directory under /usr/local/src, before you unpack. If you have further questions, mail. Good luck, Marcus -- Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.
