Christopher, At this point my main concern is the bugzilla report that grub-install doesn't work on RAID volumes and reports an error about no md devices being reported by the BIOS. I am very unclear on what my options will be (short of a complete reinstall of FC2) if I ever have to resort to the linux-rescue method again and need to reinstall grub under that. Do you know what workaround one would use to reinstall grub after booting with linux-rescue? Jack
