On Okuji's recommendation adding patch taken against the official source tree in CVS (19 Feb 2004).
Here is the changelog entry:

Note that it was requested by RedHat the we file a request "upstream" for inclusion of the patch Boji submitted.

I am the author of the Linux ataraid driver: iswraid, which supports RAID on Intel's ICH5R chipset. The RAID volume on ICH5R is accessed as ataraid block device (/dev/ataraid/d*) on Linux. ICH5R supports booting from RAID volumes. You can get more information on ICH5R at:
http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/252516.htm

This is a request for adding support for Linux's ataraid block device in GRUB:
/dev/ataraid/d0 (Major 114, minor 0)
/dev/ataraid/d0p1 (major 114, minor 1) and so on.

I have attached a patch which adds this support. The patch is taken against grub-0.93-4 as in Redhat Linux 9. if need be, I can create a patch against any version you require.

Patch Description:
The patch (grub-0.93-ataraid.patch) affects two files:
./lib/device.c
./util/grub-install.in

Thanks,
Boji
