ubuntu 7.10 and raid 1

[Victor Sterpu]

I have a software raid.

You defenetly can boot from a software raid.

You must have a sepparate /boot partition for this to work.

A made a lot of sutch systems, but the problem that I described is only 
on Ubuntu 7.10 server.


This thread has the exact same error message like me.

Does someoane has any ideeas?

I use grub.
