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.
