I've seen information on this somewhere before, but I can't remember where, or what the solution was, unfortunately. I do know software RAID is not bootable, but that's not your issue. You may (if your SCSI card is similar to mine, a Compaq Smart 2SL) need to use /dev/ida/discx/party instead of c0d0. I wrestled with this for awhile myself until I got that. But I don't boot off my SCSI stuff. John On Tue, Jul 29, 2003 at 09:30:54PM -0500, Jay Kline wrote: > Ive never tried that before, but I have had problems with grub on raid > devices.
