RAID setup on install?
I've decided to install Slackware 9.1 after having played with RedHat the past few times. As I want to really get to know and learn Linux, I hope I've made the right choice.
I have a machine with (2) 120 GB drives and want to set them as RAID, just a simple mirrored setup. The only guide I've found is here:
slacksite.com/slackware/raid.html
I believe I followed it pretty much to the T, but when I try to boot up for the first time it just gives me a "grub >" prompt and doesn't load the ataraid kernel I loaded onto /dev/hdc1 as part of the install process. This would seem to be indicative of a lilo.conf error, yes? Could grub be left over from a previous Linux install on /dev/hda? I know I told the installer to write lilo to the MBR, is this all I need to do to get it to boot into Slackware?
I know this isn't much info to get a proper answer, so I guess my real question is does anybody know of a more recent guide to setting up raid? Or should I just do a normal install and worry about raid later? I tend to like to do things right the first time....
Thanks in advance.
