Re: Archlinux + XP Raid 0+dmraid

Whenever your root (/) partition is set up in a way that it needs special tools and drivers you need to create a small seperate partition for /boot.
That one will contain the bootloader (grub or grub2), the kernel and initramfs image.
The initramfs then will contain everything to initialize the root partition.
So you should have at least an /etc/mkinitcpio.conf with the 'dmraid' hook; 'mkinitcpio -p kernel26' will rebuild the image.
Your grub menu.lst is certainly wrong, because when /boot is its own partition the path becomes "/vmlinuz26..." and "initrd /kernel26...", no "/boot".
Which ISO did you use for the install?

If I create a separate partition on disk / boot and fails me when I have to install grub boot directory partitions for / root and YES weirdly of records, grub letter is the correct path
