After reading the various travails of using grub with Linux software RAID
1 I can honestly say that I am still happy with my decision to use lilo
instead of grub. It "just works". Here's my lilo.conf:
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/md3
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-27.0.4.EL
label=linux.old
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21-27.0.4.EL.img
read-only
root=/dev/md5
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL
label=linux
root=/dev/md5
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL.img
That's it. The worst problem is I have to remember to update lilo.conf
whenever I get a new kernel rpm and then run lilo.
Cheers,
Dave
