OK, this part I understand. |

OK, from the handbook.... |
| 15 |
Thanks for clearing that up. |

The second part of this question, is what version of grub do I use |
| 18 |
with an AMD64 RAID-1-workstation install that will use this |
| 19 |
(multilib) profile: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
[5] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde * |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But I intend to put RAID-1 on the boot/root/swap partitions. |
| 24 |
ext2 and ext4 FS for boot/root. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Any preferred version of grub (grub-1) will do ? |
| 27 |

Trying to use this document: |
| 29 |
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/RAID/Software |
| 30 |
The advice about grub (1 vs 2) and mdadm RAID-metadata |
| 31 |
all confuses the grub choice for me. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Should I use Grub-1 ? or Grub-2 ? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Or maybe I should just do a traditional gentoo (handbook) install |
| 36 |
and then migrate to a RAID-1 workstation, via this document: |
| 37 |

I've spent countless hours on numerous attempts to do it all in |
| 41 |
one install, and grub will not boot for me. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
IDEAS? |
