I've found good explanation in it. you are welcome. i just now looked back thru manual to find that 'raid' was not mentioned, so i am recalling something that was posted on setting up a raid boot. i did a search thru past year of emails for 'body contains': words matches 'grub + raid + boot' 60 'grub.conf' 365 so it looks like i need to change search to narrow down what i am trying to recall. > The full error message *is* "Geom error".

[i did some refresh reading] > Not at all, I do appreciate your help. you are very welcome. something that is going thru my head and i am wondering, how are you addressing drives? master/slave or cable select? if they are western digital, you need to set them as 'cable select'. i had some problems addressing my 2 wd 120g0 drives that was solved by changing jumpers to 'cable select'. i do not recall what actual problem was, but checking wd site, this was recommend. it is getting late here in memphi, and i have an early morning schedule. will check back when i return home to see where you are. later. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
