openSUSE, Ubuntu, Vista on fake RAID

Here’s the rundown:

At first I couldn’t get Ubuntu to install on fake RAID using the Ubuntu “Fake RAID How To” so I set up a multi-boot with RAID disabled with Vista, openSUSE, and Ubuntu, in that order. That was easy.

So yesterday after being fearful of it for the longest time I decided to try the 9.04 Alternate CD install.

I set up a RAID0 and at first I just installed it by itself and it worked beautifully so then I tried setting up the same triple-boot as before, but when I did that and installed Grub to the MBR I lost the ability to boot into openSUSE. It was gone from the boot menu.

So then I tried a Vista, Ubuntu, openSUSE install, in that order and openSUSE took away the ability to boot into Ubuntu.

There were other options for installing GRUB in the Alternate CD but none of the examples worked. I tried using Lilo since that was an option but that didn’t work either.

I am installing on separate partitions by the way.

Let me add that I’m fairly new at Linux (about 7 or 8 weeks), but I’m really liking it.

I’m sure there is a way to make this work. Any ideas?

I’m also posting this in the Ubuntu and PCPitstop forums to get more ideas.

Thanks

I found the solution. The solution begins to take shape at post #24.
