<br>
Yes I have, but only with kernel 2.6.14.<br>
<br>
You need do install it by starting grub<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"># grub
--device-map=/dev/null</font><br>
<br>
Then under your grub console (where /dev/mapper/nvidia_* is your raid,
in my case /dev/mapper/nvidia_hdaaghda)<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">grub> device (hd0,0)
/dev/mapper/nvidia_*1<br>
grub> device (hd0) /dev/mappa/nvidia_*<br>
grub> root (hd0,0)<br>
grub> setup (hd0)</font><br>
<br>
Of course you need to change 1 to the partition your installing onto
and change devices to their relevent numbers too.<br>
<br>
Normally I would install grub onto a /boot partition rather than root.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

<br>
has anyone successfully installed grub on a nvidia dmraid10 ?
<br>
<br>
I have a setup of 4 160GB disks configured through bios to do raid10,
made the partitions under WinXP with Partition Magic and I can access
the /dev/mapper/nvidia_* partitions just fine from a livecd as they are
correctly identified with dmraid -ay...
<br>
<br>
But every time I try to install grub on the root partition, it bombs
out claiming "no such device"
<br>
<br>
I use the same grub config as is working on a server wich runs nvidia
dmraid1, (with the /dev/mapper/nvidia_* changed to point to the actual
device ofcourse)
<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?
<br>
<br>
kernel is 2.6.17.11 series, dmraid is 1.0.0-0.rc11, device-mapper is
1.02.09, and grub is 0.97
