+<PRE>I'm having some issues with the Grub configuration files being written
+out by drakboot which seem to be caused by my FakeRAID and was wondering
+if anyone else had gone through this.
+
+My setup:
+* Five SATA HDDs: sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, sde
+* The boot device is sda
+* My Mageia install's root partition is sdc5
+* sdd and sde are FakeRAIDed with the onboard ICH9 controller and show
+up as mapper/isw_jbhbdjgei_Data
+
+/boot/grub/device.map gets written out like this:
+(hd0) /dev/sda
+(hd1) /dev/mapper/isw_jbhbdjgei_Data
+(hd2) /dev/sdb
+(hd3) /dev/sdc
+
+So everything pertaining to sdc in Grub configs uses hd3. However, when
+booting, Grub doesn't recognize the FakeRAID device and can't find
+anything that it's looking for on hd3 (it considers sdc to be hd2).
+
+I am currently working around this by removing the generated hd1 from
+device.map, renumbering everything accordingly in device.map and
+menu.lst, and re-running grub-install /dev/sda after each time something
+messes with it (e.g., running drakboot or a new kernel gets installed).
+
+I guess the real quesiton is how /should/ the Mageia bootloader code be
+handling this sort of situation?
+
+Thanks,
+-Michael
