Re: Debian can not boot from RAID-1

If your server is anything like mine, your RAID card should abstract
the RAID array, and present it as a single disk. I have this on a Dell
server with 3 discs in RAID5.

Did you by any chance install GRUB into the partition header instead
of the MBR? That would explain not being able to boot into Debian.

Hi,

In short: Dell Power Edge 2970; 6X3" HDDs: 2-RAID1, 4-RAID5

Installed latest Debian on RAID1, which is VD-00. Installation went
through without any issue.

After installation system can not boot. Checked BIOS and there are
only 3 options to boot from: CD-ROM, NIC, Drive C(I'm not sure
where drive C came from???). In the RAID configuration utility
VD-00(2 HDD in RAID1)is set as boot device but it's still can not
see the boot sector.

Is it something wrong with the system or did I need to set some
settings on software level?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Kind regards, yuriy
