Yes, I use grub! Version 0.90 and it works like a charm. Maybe you give it a try just with a boot disk: after compiling do a "cat stage1 stage2 > /dev/fd0". When you boot with this disk the grubshell should appear and first you should try a "root (hd <TAB>". This will show you "hd0" and "hd1" and so on if you have more than one physical disk or array (yes the array appear as one). If you choose one disk and hit the tabkey again all the available partitions should appear and you should pick the one with the /boot/ directory on it. After that type "kernel (hd,<TAB>" and pick the same partition as in "root (hd...)" but give a complete path to the kernel. If you do not know exactly, try to <TAB> your way as you would do in a normal shell. If you have picked the kernel write any "append" command into the same line: "kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.12 root=/dev/ataraid/d0p6" would mean, the the first primary partition is mounted to /boot and the root filesystem is on the second logical partition. If you need a initrd just do a "initrd (hd...)/initrd.img". If these comands complete without errors just type boot and see what happens.has anybody managed to push lilo into the fasttrak mbr ?
with an entry in /etc/lilo.cfg:
boot=/dev/ataraid/d0 root=/dev/ataraid/d0p1
I get:
machine #> lilo Fatal: Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0x7201
any body worked around this ?

Another time, this is my grubmenu and it works the same if you type in these comands manually:
default 0 timeout 20
title Windows 98 chainloader (hd0,0)+1
title Linux RAID kernel (hd0,5)/vmlinuz-2.4.12 root=/dev/ataraid/d0p7
title Linux SCSI kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.12 root=/dev/sda1
I hope I could help you Greetings Helge.
