    I have a machine with three SCSI disks, /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc.
    The machine boots off of /dev/sdc and I've put /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
    into a raid1 array, /dev/md0. I can not get the machine to boot off of
    /dev/md0; I keep getting kernel panics. Since everything else seems
    fine, I think the problem is with grub.

    I believe that I have grub installed in the mbr of all three drives. I
    don't think grub is quite right, though, since I get an error when I
    try:

    grub>find /grub/stage1

    A stanza in /boot/grub/menu.1st that works is:

    title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.7
    root (hd2,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7 root=/dev/sdc1 ro
    savedefault
    boot

    One that doesn't work is:

    title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.7 DISK1
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7 root=/dev/md0 ro
    savedefault
    boot

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Richard
