I am sure that 11.2 will be better than 11.1 in this case. Maybe good idea is write your problem also to bugzilla.novell.com and if you also attach yast logs you can help to solve the problem in installation or somebody write you any workaround for you. 11.2 should support also redundancy for md array It means if your /boot partition is on raid1 and it is build from 2 physical partitions with same partition number (from 2 different disks) yast propose also using redundancy which can take care about problem if one of disk is off or broken(is not bootable).

There are some fixes in this area in openSUSE 11.2, even an option for redundancy -- grub is installed on both disks, so you might give it a try.

Of course, in corporate environment, I would NEVER use Fedora... But still I guess Fedora, or at least its server components, is more stable than openSUSE 11.2, which hasn't even been released yet. And talking about security, Fedora is rather good too. So as a home server, it will be fine. I expected such a comment… ;)

Nuff said? You care about stability yet you have Fedora 11 installed as a server ;) ??
