(3: mounted as md3) Scenario B (Numerals: as above) If I enable 2: and install as md0 (previous md0 [1:] having been wiped) I get the grub error. With bios boot set to: 2:a, 2:b. Any combination of install, with the internal sata controller enabled fails to boot. ie: install 1: as md0, plus 2: as md1 (file-store) Have tried manually changing grub.conf to boot (hd0,0) to other combinations, to no avail. Booting from livecd (F10 snap 1+2) shows all six drives. and four if 2:(inbuilt sata) is disabled Including Frank -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
