/dev/md0 does not have a corresponding BIOS Drive

[peter pilsl]

I just try to install a new Linux on our new Server. Somehow installing 
the bootloader fails.


#grub-install /dev/md0
/dev/md0 does not have a corresponding BIOS Drive

same if if I try


#grub-install /dev/sda
/dev/md0 does not have a corresponding BIOS Drive


I've two disks in my systems : sda and sdb and md0 is a raid1 consisting 
of sda1 and sdb2.

md0 is mounted as root and contains boot as subfolder.


my menu.lst looks

default 0
timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd1,0)/boot/message

title OpenSUSE 10.2
   kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/md0 vga=0x31a 
resume=/dev/sda2  splash=silent showopts


What is my problem?  How can I install Grub? Do I need to make a 
seperate non-raided partition?  Dont think so. I use lilo on raided 
partitions for years.  I tried the recheck-option without any success.

thnx,
peter
