Hi *! I have a problem with booting over my new IDE Controller.
Short description: Grub says "GRUB " at boot time and dies. I have found nothing appropriate in the list archives or in google :-( I hope someone here can help me. Long description: My configuration is: 2 40GB drives as master at the primary and secondary interface of the Promise card (/dev/hde and /dev/hdg in linux), an old 1.7GB disc at /dev/hda (onboard interface). When I activate the old drive in the bios, it boots just fine (that is just for debugging; I don't want that). But when I disable it in the bios, the system tries to boot from the 1st 40GB drive and fails. The 2 40GB drives are configured as follows: /dev/hde1 and /dev/hdg1 are 16MB, RAID1 (raidtools, /dev/md0) mounted on /boot /dev/hde2 and /dev/hdg2 are 2x128MB swap space /dev/hde3 and /dev/hdg3 (the rest) is a RAID1 (raidtools, dev/md1) and LVM, root fs. The docs say that grub dies with some explicit error messages if it is not installed properly. I get no messages :-( My installation steps were: boot form hda => hda is (hd0), hde is (hd1), hdg is (hd2) invoke grub root (hd1,0) install /grub/stage1 (hd1) /grub/stage2 reboot, remove hda form bios my board is an ocean rhino 12 (noname?!) with SMC669 chipset, but this shoudn't matter I think, because thy system boots over the bios of the Promise controller. I hope someone here can help me...
