That module is only useful with ata.mod, which isn't the default. With default biosdisk.mod the BIOS handles the RAID for us. All the GRUB modules have nothing to do with handling the OS specific things like device names. > It would be very nice to get grub2 & dmraid working nicely together. > As we are now stuck to grub1 for that. On Debian BTS and Launchpad there's a bug about this. And maybe even Savannah. The main problem is that our way to map Linux devices to GRUB devices doestn't work with multipath and dmraid devices. There's a first patch I made for nvidia_ pdc_ and some isw_ devices, but that's the wrong approach. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer
