I would like to ask one thing tho. You have part1 as /boot and part2 as root.
But i have hda1 as /boot and part1 as root. Where do you install grub? is it hda's mbr? or disc0's mbr? if it is disc0 then how to you choose that disc? did you choose in your BIOS to boot that disc first? > Re-check your kernel config, and change ur grub.conf > to your root partion: /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3 not part1 > acording to your fstab > >>> /dev/ataraid/disc0/part1 /boot ext2 >>> noauto,noatime >>> 1 1 >>> /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3 / ext3 noatime >>> 1 1 > > > RNuno > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: MooktaKiNG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: quinta-feira, 5 de Junho de 2003 21:17 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [gentoo-user] Help with Promise RAID & Gentoo > > > Well it loads the kernel and then at the end it says there's no > ataraid/disc0/part1 and i should append it. > > But i'll try reinstalling again tonight. > >> Well my system is working :) >> >> cat /proc/pci >> >> ..... >> >> Bus 0, device 9, function 0: >> RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. 20268R (rev 2). >> IRQ 5. >> Master Capable.
