I boot from the disk. Load modprobe raid1 modules from command line and then create the RAID1 mirror with 'mdadm'. I have recreated the partitions: sda1 = 4 GB /boot (bootable) sda2 = the rest of the disk (RAID) sdb1 = 4 GB SWAP (SWAP) sdb2 = the rest of the disk (RAID) Below I created the same RAID. #mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=2 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 **I allowed the mirror to synchronize over night. Right now as I type this, the mirror is done syncing. So according to everything we previously discussed, I don't need to mess with anything else and can go into the /arch/setup and configure my system, right? I should simply only make changes to my menu.lst as noted above, and nothing else when I am prompted to 'Configure System'? So am changing the 'kernel' line in the Grub 'menu.lst' to read as follows: kernel vmlinuz26 root=/dev/md0 md=2,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2 ro *Note the 'ro' at the end. It was already there before I add your suggestion in the middle. Do I take it off or leave it on?* Please let me know if I have missed anything.
