From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20040105 Description of problem: Anaconda no longer has an option to install LILO rather than GRUB. This is completely disastrous when /boot is a RAID-1, which is otherwise a highly desirable configuration, since it means any drive can boot the system. Anaconda will allow you to make /boot a RAID-1, and will offer to install GRUB on it. It produces a completely unusable GRUB configuration which ends with dropping you into the level 2 GRUB shell. As far as I can tell, there *is no way to make GRUB operate correctly on a RAID-1 /boot*. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2test3 ISO CD How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a system with /boot on a RAID-1 Actual Results: GRUB loads and drops you into the level 2 GRUB shell. Expected Results: System boots. Additional info: LILO handles this correctly, but there is no longer a way to install LILO at install time.
