Re: Re: Lilo + RAID1 @ root partition



Hi

Correct! the boot= should be md2 not md10 in my case, thanks =)

but... mm.. err how do I write correct MBR to sda & sbd now when the
situation is that I have bootet system on HDA because booting failed
in sda or sba after power went off (damm syster!!) 

Could that be somehow like mount /dev/md10 as /foo (real root partion is sda3 or sdb3) and copy /foo/etc/lilo.conf to /etc/lilo.conf and then run lilo whit some special schwitches to get right thihgs to those sda & sdb disks to get system running? 

I have working OS on md10 but I can't boot for it now :(
