Dave,

Sorry I am confused. Are you saying that I should not do as Baho
suggested to my Grub's menu.lst? So what now? I am really lost. I am
being told to not add any 'mdadm' and 'raid1' modules & hooks into my
system configuration because it needs to be done in Grub. But it seems
to me now you're telling me I should not have to mess with Grub. I
just want a simple RAID1 mirror on my system and the Wiki is a
complete mess and not working for me.
