Hi all,
I have raided the 2 SCSI drives on a DELL PE1550 with RAID 1 including
the /boot partition.
I found that one of the drive can't boot, how do I make both drives
bootable so that I have a true  mirror? I've tried to dd the first few
sectors on the drive that boots to the other drive unseccessfully
using dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=[1,2,3], grub starts then hang. Can
someone please help ?

Many thanks,

Yang
