GRUB Error 22 for RAID 1 settings

Hi all,

ok, i have a server machine without HardRAID, and i wish to install 2 hhd with softRAID 1.

I followed the steps in the article "How to install openSUSE on software RAID" and successful to install the RAID 1 settings on my machine. After the installation, i able to boot in and all work smooth and fine.

The purpose i setup RAID 1 is because i wan to have a backup mirror disk, mean if the first disk spoilt, i can just take out the spoilt one and boot from 2nd hdd. So i did on a testing of take out the first hdd, then let the system boot from 2nd hdd. And now the system popup an error msg "GRUB Error 22".

any wrong of my steps? or i have missed out some settings? Please help ...

Thank you
PS: i am using openSUSE 11.1

Regards,
Kenny

LVM on RAID 1 hard-disk set has become my quasi-standard for HA installations by now. But I use Debian, can't give special hints for SUSE/openSUSE. In general GRUB needs to be installed into both MBRs (hda and hdb or sda and sdb respectively). Maybe you'll find the following more enlightening:

Do a search as I did for you to find more, i.e. with "opensuse raid1 GRUB Error 22" I found a link to the site mentioned above in hit #3 with forestle.org .

Good luck
