I believe it is a grub bug? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=114690 Comment #7 From Boris Mironov on 2004-11-29 09:47 EST Hello, Did not mention my exact way... 1) Install Fedora 3 on RAID 1 (consists of 2 IDE HDDs). Each drive has 2 partitions (data, swap). 2) First reboot will stuck (eg., no boot device). 3) Boot from first CD of Fedora 3 as 'linux rescue'. 4) From shell start 'grub' 5) From grub execute the following: root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) root (hd1,0) setup (hd1) This is it. The rest is up to you. Probably these 4 commands (or some better work around) could be implemented in anaconda, especially when user installs Linux on software RAID.
