Hi All,
This patch removes a special case when /boot (or / without a separate /boot) is
on mdraid. For some reason we only allow installing grub to the mdX device then
instead of allowing both the mbr of the 1st disk and the device holding /boot.
I've searched through the anaconda history and this special handling of mdraid
/boot has been there since before Feb. 2002, it was inherited from before booty
was introduced and it does not seem to make sense. Either we cannot have /boot
on mdraid at all (in all cases except for raid1) or we can have /boot on dmraid
(in case of raid1) and then it does not matter if the bootstrap of grub starts
on the mbr or on the first sector of a partition.
This fixes 217176, note that is a RHEL4 bug but this patch is against master as
it still happens there too. Next is fixing this for RHEL5 and then RHEL4.
Regards,
Hans
