  Oh, absolutely, and what makes you think I can't?  Nevermind, don't
answer that.  It's just that he hasn't said so either way.  He's only
reported on what he's seeing at the beginning of his boot block, not
what the actual results were (i.e.: what happens when he boots), other
than making the wild claim that lilo was chaining to grub on MY system
(even though I NEVER set it up to do that -- did it happen magically?  I
don't think so) as well as his, which I proved wrong for my system by
ZEROing the boot block first.  He hasn't (nor have you) produced one
shred of evidence that this new grub hasn't fixed software raid 1.  If
you do, fantastic!  But we are waiting for more people to test it.  I
only have so many machines, and really only one I can test this
particular problem on.
