Re: Configuring a bootloader
You need to use the alternate install cd for installing on fakeraid, it has better support for raid and installs the bootloder better.
With the standard live cd the bootloader often fails.
You can add it now from live mode if you want to.
What you will need to do is:
Boot into live mode, activate the array:
sudo dmraid -ay
Print the list of all devices and partitions:
sudo parted -l (small L)
Note the name of the raid device, something like /dev/mapper/blah_blah. Also be careful because the partitions will be called the same only with something like 'p1', 'p2', etc at the end.
You need to know EXACTLY what is the raid device, and what the partitions on it.
After that simply mount the root partition, lets say in this example it ends with 'p5' and install grub to the raid device (NOT any partition):
Code:
sudo mount /dev/mapper/blah_blahp5 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/mapper/blah_blah
That should do it.
