Hello Debian-users.
A few days ago i tried to install Etch on my backup-server to be. After the install I ended up with Grub printing grub all over my screen. Reinstalled and changed the partitioning a bit but got one grub printed and no other errors. Booted a live-cd ang changerooted into my new install and executed grub install from within grub commandline but that did not help. My computer is an old PIII 450Mhz with a dvd on the primary ide interface and a Promise PCI sata 4 channel controller for my 4 Wd 400Gb sata disks. The layout I used is: /boot 100Mb ext3 on first disk (primary partition in the beginnig of the disk) / 7.5gb ext3 on /dev/md0 (raid5 on all 4 disks) 1 swap partition on each disk to get around 2gb swap in total the rest of my disks are set up as a huge raid 5 md for lvm use but no lvms created yet. Grub installed on MBR and no errors showed in console during grubs install. Before this setup i tried to put / on lvm as usual but changed back to plain md to see if things got better. --- Yesterday I tried to install Centos5 with exaclty the same layout. I just told the installer to erase /boot and keep using ext3, the same for the md containing / and finished the installation. Unfortunatelly the thing started with no problem :-) I really would like to use debian instead but grub seems to behave strange in etch ? Have anyone else experienced debian-issues with grub ?
