Justin,
Any idea why anaconda in FC4 can't find my boot partition to
upgrade? Also do the commands...
grub
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,0)/grub/stage1 (hd0) \
(hd0,0)/grub/stage2 p (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd1,0)/grub/stage1 (hd1) \
(hd1,0)/grub/stage2 p (hd1,0)/grub/grub.conf
look correct to you? I guess I could at least try reinstalling
my grub partitions. Before I used...
boot
device (hd0) /dev/sdb
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
device (hd0) /dev/sda
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
...previously to install grub on both drives which have the RAID-1
boot partition. It would be nice if there was a consensus on the
proper way to install a RAID-1 boot partition....to use...
root (hd0,0)
in grub.conf and the second set of grub commands with only (hd0,0)
or to omit the 'root (hd0,0)' from grub.conf and use the commands
Aleksandar recommends. Of course none of this explains yet why
anaconda can't find the boot partition to update.
What I did in the past was to do the upgrade or install on the /dev/md0
device that the RAID partition is, then install grub manually on the
second drive this way:
root (hd1,0)
find /boot/grub/stage1
setup (hd1)
does this work?
