boot loader

Hi,
I have unsuccessfully tried to boot ubuntu or suse from my ocz revodrive (raid0 array). the bootloader (grub) that comes with these packages needs to be installed on a 'standard' HD.
I am getting over installing and playing around and wonder if Zorin uses the same boot loader and will I encounter the same problems?
On a general note: will future releases of linux versions have this bug removed and will the bootloader be as capable as that that comes with windows? booting from the revodrive in windows is no problem...
Cheers,
duschl

Hi,
i don't think this addresses my problem. the problem is that the ssd never shows as /dev/sda.

I have followed instructions on
http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum ... all-issues

This appears to be a bug [Bug 777531] and i tried several workarounds - none of which worked.

I was hoping that Zorin may not use grub but something else...

Cheers,
Duschl
