New single OS install of 12.1 Open Suse 64bits desktop.
Hardware:
AMD 64
2 identical SATA Seagate (1.5 TB)
during install (Live-CD) used “Disk Utility” to create RAID.
during final system configuration: getting boot-loader error that can’t write/mount drive…
not sure where the problem(s) and if it is a boot-loader issue or a raid issue.
is there a HowTo document for new install on mirror disk or to create a raid after install (either one)
Manny
usually this looks promising.
OK
plenty space
I really don’t know what you were doing in the end,
because you don’t give that much information on that.
Just a guess:
openSUSE still uses legacy GRUB, which for booting from “/” can address only
root partitions that entirely (i.e. as a WHOLE) are below 128 GB.
Perhaps you should create a separate “/” (root) partition with a max size of 128 GB,
and a separate home partition thereafter.
To create two separate partitions for “/” (root) and “/home” would anyway be the best idea,
especially if the system should ever be updated to any future version
openSUSE 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 13.1 …
Best wishes

That is not true there is a warning but it applies to older BIOS
