Hi,OK. If it is possible to boot from that, it would be fine for my current needs. The Windows-problem does not hurt me - at least for the systems where I need this.
Is it planned to extend the boot code to boot from a RAID1 setup in gpt in the near future?
At the moment I think this PR can be closed as soon as the bootsupport for raid1 partitions is added to gpt. I need this in 5.x as soon as possible for new "productive" systems, but I can do the integration from current into "my" 5.x-version by myself if it is inserted only for 6.x or later. Accedently I've no time to figure out all required changes myself

No, that is not true. I recently booted a amd64 machine from a gpt labelddisk. Firmware in all "recent" machines does handle it just fine.Martin
