Hi..

First about system..

Try install grub more..

Code: Select all

(chroot) livecd / # grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
/dev/md1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
(chroot) livecd / # grub-install --recheck /dev/md1
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
/dev/md1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

Hm.. Not installed

solve the problem is create raid1 with metadata = 0.90

Code: Select all

 mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 --metadata=0.90 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
