Hello, I am trying to create a bootable Raid10 array, and install garuda. I am stuck, I have been searching the internet for two days trying all the different things people say work. None of them do.
I am on my n'Th attempt right now and this time I created 3 partitions on all 4 drives.
Like this.
/dev/sda1 8mb unformated for grub
/dev/sda2 300mb fat32 with a boot flag and will be mounted as /boot/efi
/dev/sda3 300gb btrfs which will be mounted as root
Using mdadm I created a raid array for each partiton md3 for /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 .... , and md2.
Can't create an array for unallocated space, so the md1 is just sitting there.
With this command:
sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md2 --level=10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2
I will install garuda and see what happens.
If anyone can give any help on how to get this done, please let me know.
That didn't work at all.
So I forced my bios to boot to legacy only. Remade my RAID10 array from scratch. Installed garuda using MBR.
What do you know it worked, it boots.
New problem: it hangs in Splash Screen.
I tried editing grub, like a few other posts suggested. Seems to be related to intel vdm or something like that. Tried it anyways, no luck.
I have AMD Ryzen 9 5950x. Xr 6600 xt.
I am updated system in chroot, did not work.
Any ideas?

I move it from Newbies to Unsupported Software (AUR & Other) .
Garuda uses 260 MB for /boot/efi. How do you get 8 MB for grub?
So that your request doesn’t end up in nirvana please post the requested garuda-inxi, that goes from the live ISO.
Was this included?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/RAID_(Español)
Or that?

It doesn’t help to write that everything didn’t help, without linking.
It’s frustrating for helpers who then needlessly post links you already know.

I am using MBR now, so there is no /boot/efi partition anymore. This is what I got.
The system boots to splash screen but freezes, get "you're on your own error",the kernel is not mounting root for some reason. I think the softRAID is not starting before it starts looking for files.
I edited mkinitcpio.conf and added mdadm_udev to HOOKS.
I then regenerated intramfs with "Sudo mkinitcpio -P"
I edited /etc/default/grub: GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES and added mdraid09 and mdraid1x
I also added "set root=(md/0,1)"

The boot partition must be RAID1; i.e it cannot be striped (RAID0) or RAID5, RAID6, etc.. This is because GRUB does not have RAID drivers. Any other level will prevent your system from booting. Additionally, if there is a problem with one boot partition, the boot loader can boot normally from the other two partitions in the /boot
array.
