I will try it out and let you know the results.

will this set of commands install the bootloader to both /dev/hda1 and
/dev/hdb1
so that if one of the devices fail it will still boot?

 Doesn't that work?

I am having similar problems to Brian (Brand new install of RH 7.3 on a P3, with a matched pair of Western Digital 120GB drives in RAID 1).

The upgraded the grub rpm from the default 0.91 that ships with RedHat 7.3 to the latest rpm I found on rpmfind.net, version 0.92-4.

/boot is a 128MB raid1 parition, /dev/md9. The physical partitions that make up this device are /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdc1, and are both the first primary partitions of their respective drives.

I tried the above, and get the following:

address@hidden echo '(hd0) /dev/md9' /boot/grub/device.map
address@hidden grub-install '(hd0)'
expr: non-numeric argument
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.

I have been tinkering with this a lot trying to get it to work, so it wouldn't surprise me if I had klobbered something along the line. I am willing to re-install the whole thing from scratch, but as it didn't work right out of the box the first time, I would want to know the exact steps to from a default RedHat install to a working bootable software RAID1.

Any thoughts, comments, and suggestions appreciated.
