That is one of the tasks it is there for. Better to have things working correctly on both disks. But if that fails then using rescue mode will allow an easy recovery too. But if Alexandru is also seeing this and the bootloader isn't being installed upon both disks when raid is configured by the installer then I think that would still be a bug in the installer. But I know I have seen the installer screen ask for the list of disks to install the bootloader. It has been a while and I don't recall where exactly. It might have only been in expert mode. In any case it seems like it should do this correctly when it is configuring raid. If someone had the time to investigate with a test installation and then either filing a bug or an information update. I lack the resources at this moment however. Bob
