I am trying to install Fedora 7 and I am running into a problem setting up the software RAID.

Here's the breakdown...

2 WD 80 GB IDE ( sda & sdb )
1 Seagate 500 GB SATA ( sdc )

I would like to setup a RAID 1 on the two WD drives. Here is what I have tried...

Option 1:
device mount point size
/dev/md0 / all (76000+ MB)

Option 2:
/dev/md0 /boot 100 MB
/dev/md1 swap 1 GB
/dev/md2 / remainder (75187 MB)

On option 1 I put the swap and /boot partitions on the Seagate.

Neither of these options will boot once the installation is complete. Option 2 will at least get me to a "grub>" prompt. I had seen somebody else basically did option 2 and modified the grub loader after installation, but he did it in Fedora Core 5 and the commands aren't the same in 7.

If anybody has done this I would appreciate some help...Thanks!

Sometimes it seems to fail to install grub properly. Boot from a LiveCD or something of that nature, and re-install grub - and you need to do it on both bootable drives because the installer doesn't.
