It is apparently the "official" stance; see the F16 common bugs page. > Yup, all three of my F16 servers have /boot on RAID1. I went through a PITA today getting F16 installed with /boot on a pre-existing RAID1 partitions. I also discovered that the new-and-improved(not!) GRUB2 won't install to partitions. I use to set up multiple installs by: - create a small partition, install GRUB on it, and having its config do nothing but chain-load other partitions (this GRUB gets installed in MBR) - set up each install with a separate /boot on an extended partition and install its GRUB to the partition rather than the MBR This way I was guaranteed that no install's GRUB would be messed up by another. The top-level GRUB was a menu of OS installs (e.g. Fedora 15, Fedora Rawhide, Windoze). I couldn't get GRUB2 for F16 installed to my F16 /boot partition; it would only install to the MBR. I guess that's progress. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
