cat /proc/mstat gave me this output.
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid0 hda3[0] hdc3[1]

and grub looks like this
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making
changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means
that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to
/boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/md2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20 ro root=/dev/md2
initrd /initrd-2.4.20.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=/dev/md2
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
but where can I find my boot error messages? I have
checked /ver/log/boot but it never has info about my
failed startups.
Thanks for the help thus far !
