If you still claim that lilo is chaining to grub, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. I wait with baited breath to hear your response, but if it's anything other than 'okay, let me contribute to the testing process and try this out myself,' or something like that, then I give up. Not with grub, but with debating you on this any further. The software raid 1 bug is fixed. Deal. ===== va:root:498)# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 18.3 GB, 18361030656 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 17510 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 128 131056 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 129 17510 17799168 fd Linux raid autodetect va:root:499)# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 18.3 GB, 18361030656 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 17510 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 128 131056 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 129 17510 17799168 fd Linux raid autodetect va:root:500)# dd if=/dev/sda bs=448 count=1 of=/root/sda.448 1+0 records in 1+0 records out va:root:501)# dd if=/dev/sdb bs=448 count=1 of=/root/sdb.448 1+0 records in 1+0 records out va:root:502)# dd if=/dev/zero bs=448 count=1 of=/dev/sda 1+0 records in 1+0 records out va:root:503)# dd if=/dev/zero bs=448 count=1 of=/dev/sdb 1+0 records in 1+0 records out va:root:504)# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 18.3 GB, 18361030656 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 17510 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 128 131056 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 129 17510 17799168 fd Linux raid autodetect va:root:505)# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 18.3 GB, 18361030656 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 17510 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 128 131056 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 129 17510 17799168 fd Linux raid autodetect va:root:506)# od -c /dev/sda | head -1 0000000 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 va:root:507)# od -c /dev/sdb | head -1 0000000 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 va:root:508)# /sbin/grub-install /dev/md0 Installation finished.
