Hi All,

I have a pc with 3x40GB IDE drives.

I have 2 RAID 5 devices setup-

/dev/md0 = 3 x 38GB as /
/dev/md1 = 3 x 2GB as SWAP

Debian base installs OK but when I get to the Grub installation I get a
"Fatal Error" message.

I am telling Grub to install on /dev/md0 but it won't install.

Grub must be installed on a real disk.
Grub 2 as just receive a patch allowing RAID and LVM support.

For now, you must install grub on your drives (1, 2 or even the 3 making md0).
The root filesystem can be /dev/md0.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Regards,
Chris
