I setup two drives to do raid0 with my onboard hpt370 controller. I can boot my linux install from a grub floppy fine, but I can't seem to install grub to the MBR. I boot up with the grub-0.90 image from the grub site and run root (hd0,0) (it is correctly recognized as an ext2 partition with grub-0.90 files) then run setup (hd0) but it always corrupts my stripe array. I know I have got this working before once before but I just can't seem to remember what I finally did to get it working. I've seen a few posts that say that grub works but I can't find any info about booting straight from the HD.

Hi,
do you try to install grub from within linux or from the boot-command prompt. I tried to install grub from the grub shell within linux (just install grub and type "grub" in the bash) and I failed, because grub could not recognize the drives. When I booted from a disk instead everything worked fine. I think this is because the order of the disks change when you install the drivers.
Greetings Helge.
