My English is not very well. I wish you will understand my word.

I installed OpenSuSe 11.2 x64 on my PC.

It’s not work will:
After installation, the system auto login KDE GUI. but when I reboot(or shutdown and open) my computer. Message on screen meaning:“can’t find bootable partition”.
I tryed repair the bootloader, but it still did’t work.

My PC’s hardware
Mother Board: DFI 790FXB-M3H5(South Bridge: SB750)
Hard Disk: WD 500G*2 Raid 0(via SB750 Chip function)
Oh, I’m sorry, It’s Fakeraid, not hardraid.

When I open my computer Message on screen is:
“Error No operationg system
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER”

FAKE RAID will not work. in most cases it requires additional drivers that are NOT available in Linux.

If you want RAID use a dedicated real RAID card or use software RAID.

NO, I have no redundant HD.

Fedora 12’s grub can work well, why OpenSuSe’s can’t?
Can I replace grub with the Fedora 12’s?
I’m a Linux beginner? I don’t know how to do this.
Please help me, think you very much!!

You can not use it with FAKE RAID sorry. Maybe there may be a driver somewhere for you particular chip set but few seem to be provided for Linux. If you want RAID you have 2 choices

  1. use a real hardware RAID card
  2. use Software RAID.
