Hi!
I have the Asus M2n32-SLI Deluxe board with 2x SATA as RAID1 on the
FakeRAID nVidia SATA controller.
Sorry I have no idea what you have. I can be of no help to you.
F7_64 installed fine and booted fine, but then I decided to add
updates and a good load of applications to the system. After that the
boot hangs at the grub> prompt and that is basically the point where I
need some help.
Other information in bullet points:
- GRUB installed on MBR of FakeRAID
- worked fine several times
- dual boot with XP64
- have a Promise IDE controller with 2 PATA drives present
- the F7 install is on the second parition of the mirror raid
I did try install and setup at the grub prompt, but I have no idea how
the INSTALL_DEVICE is called as it is to be the FakeRAID, which was
named nvidia_andthensomething.
Who gave this name to your stuff. There is no such thing as a fake
raid and not sure why you have it :-)
I can boot from the install DVD and get the live system, but when I
opt to repair the existing installation I am always told that GRUB
will not be reinstalled, because I did not install any new kernel
modules. THAT is the biggest disappointment. I can live for now with
the annoyance to potentially have to fix GRUB after installing
updates/apps, but I don't even get really a chance....or better to
say, I don't know how.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi David, did you have the F7 install program make your raid-1 or
did you do that after you installed F7? I am writing a paper on how to
install raid-1 on an already installed home Hard Drive.
