Bonjour,

I have persistent problem at bootup: boot hangs at the beginning for
some "inconsistency" in my /dev/md0 partition.

I installed my f10 on 2 drives with software raid1 partitions end
/dev/md0 is my / partition.

cat /proc/mdstat

md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
      1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU]


following instructions in some RAID howto, I installed grub on the 2
drives sdb and sdc *but* once I made a mistake and instead of typing

grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb (or c, i don't remember)
grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> setup (hd1)

I replace the first line by:

grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb1 (or c1)

I don't know exactly what happens in this case, but I am wondering if
grug has not installed some files in md0, causing the boot failure for
"inconsistency".


If it is pertinent to think so, I have 2 questions:

1- How to validate this, ie. what are these files and how to "see" them?

2- How to remove them?

Thanks for attention.
