It stops after printing "GRUB". Does anyone have any idea >why? Simple. You've destroyed part of the bootloader. In this case, you didn't wait for the mirroring to complete, did you? If so, hda1, or (hd0,0) to grub, does not contain a valid filesystem. Thus, there is no stage2 or grub.conf. You'll have to install grub on both hda and hdc as the stage1 and stage1.5 are outside partitions being mirrored (MBR and the space following it.) And you have go out of your way to do it so it'll work if one of the drives dies. --Ricky - 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
