Fix for Centos 6.3 Software RAID not loading GRUB on /dev/md0

Submitted by Mathew Branwell on Thu, 01/10/2013 - 09:08

If you’ve just installed CentOS 6 on software RAID and it won’t boot off /dev/md0, try the following:

1. Using your CentOS install media, boot in to rescue mode
2. Once you are booted in to rescue mode, select the “start shell” option
3. Enter the following command:

chroot /mnt/sysimage
4. Re-install GRUB

grub-install /dev/md0
5. Reboot

This is the only thing that worked for me. Thanks for posting! CentOS should do this automatically.
