We have a Compaq Proliant ML370 with a CPQ Smart Array 431 controller. We also have an embedded scsi controller with 2 channels and an Adaptec 39160 scsi controller attached to 2 CMD Raid controllers with 27GB of disk each and one shared spare. The problem we had was with the initial installation of RedHat Linux 7.2. The install would proceed without problem until everything was done and and the system would reboot. The screen would come up and it would just say "GRUB" in the upper left corner of the screen and noting else. We also experienced a similar problem with LILO. To fix LILO we just had to edit lilo.conf and remove the partition info from the boot device. For example the following line was changed from "boot=/dev/ida/c0d0p2" to "boot=/dev/ida/c0d0". Grub was more difficult. First Grub could not find our boot device because the device.map file was wrong. Since our device was not a hda device and was not directly under /dev and instead was under /dev/ida Grub was unable to find it. So we manually edited the device map to add the correct device in. Which was actually hd0 we then ran the command "grub --device-map=device.map. Next we had to run the "grub > setup --stage2=/dev/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,0)" and finally we edited grub.conf to point to the correct device (hd0) not (hd2) which is what the grub installer put in.
I hope this helps. --Mike _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
