Hi, my last try was with the following settings; I have installed suse7.3 with 4G raid1 / (/dev/sda1 & /dev/sdb1 as /dev/md0) and 1G swap as /dev/sda2.I chose to install the boot loader to the /dev/sda1 partition and the install was completed except at the end it said it could not write the boot loader to the partition. But when I rebooted the machine it booted from /dev/md0 and the install was ok. The question is, why does an error occur if I have a non-raid /boot partition and tell the installer to install the boot record to /boot? thx Murat - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
