Funny - I had a promise ataraid installation that no version of lilo could boot. Tried grub once and it worked. Since then I avoid lilo.

 That seems to be the reverse of my experince.


However, we are now talking about md devices. Unfortunately I have no idea how grub behaves there but I heard that a new grub is able to handle that without problems.

Maybe there is, but it's not in RH 9. (Or the installer doesn't know how to configure it.) In which the easier path for people is to check the use lilo box durning install.

Testing grub is always easy. Simply use a grub boot floppy from
somewhere and try to boot your kernel from there. If it works, it also
should when installing grub to harddisk.


You're implying that it's easy to install grub to both drives. If there is an easy way I don't know about it. Neither does radhat:
