re comment #4 Thanks for the suggestions but I already have a workaround with the script mirroring of /boot. I tried many times to use LILO for RAID1 on 9.10 server 64 bit but it would not work on the i7 mobo which was my initial target. LILO worked fine for an AMD mobo. Thanks though. re

That is not my experience, but let's qualify that. Ubuntu grub 0.97 _does_ support GPT with RAID1, except for the boot partition which must, as stated previously in the workaround, be on a non-RAID partition for the reasons you stated. Currently as far as I can tell GRUB2 does no better. I'm

I see in syslog you posted that the instaler is uninstalling grub2 but you aren't getting legacy grub installed in it's place, maybe you aren't online during the install? here's the relevant part: Nov 8 15:30:23 ubuntu grub-installer: (Reading database ... Nov 8 15:30:23 ubuntu
