Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

Grub gets installed in the MBR of a physical drive (there are other ways but that's the most common). You can't install it in a raid partition. Do:

/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda

(or whatever is your primary hard disk - the one the BIOS boots from).



And what occurs if hda dies. You can't boot!!! This is why I always use lilo for raid 1 systems. Lilo actually knows what to do if you tell it to use an md device.


Grub is cool, but lilo works;-)
