Hi All,

This has been driving me nuts for 2 days now:

I got a new h/w with 6 SATA drives, am installing it to use software raid:

/boot -- /dev/md0 -- raid 1
swap -- /dev/md1 -- raid 0
/ -- /dev/md2 -- raid 6

/dev/md0 consists of sda1 and sdb1
/dev/md1 consists of sdc1,sdd1,sde1 and sdf1
/dev/md2 consists of sda2,sdb2,sdc2,sdd2,sde2,sfe2

on the part where it install grub, i get an error that installing grub on /dev/sda/ and /dev/sdb fails, can't figure out that part.

tried loading a knoppix image and try to install grub manually but knoppix seems cant detect the software raid as fdisk only see a partition that is GPT. haven't tried live CD that's the next thing i will try. but has anyone experience the same thing before? any help would be truly appreciated.

Regards,
Nhadie
