[ale] Fedora Booting experts

[Greg Freemyer]

How do I know what /dev/md0 is composed of?

== details

I think it is /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1, but if true I have a broken mirror

Following up on the idea that /dev/md0 is my real issue I did the following:

[root at IndexEngine grub]# strings /dev/sda1 > /tmp/it-a
[root at IndexEngine grub]# grep Fedora /tmp/it-a > /tmp/it1-a
[root at IndexEngine grub]# cat /tmp/it1-a
title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)

Where are the rest of the Fedora entries??   Lets look on the other
half of the mirror.

[root at IndexEngine grub]# strings /dev/sdb1 > /tmp/it-b
[root at IndexEngine grub]# grep Fedora /tmp/it-b > /tmp/it1-b
[root at IndexEngine grub]# cat /tmp/it1-b
title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)

title Fedora (2.6.22.9-91.ie.fc7)
title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)

Something very fishy.
