FWIW, I've had no problems w/ 'grub', EL4, and cciss devices on XC. I'm using the SI 3.4.1 release.

I finally got around to trying out SystemImager with RedHat EL4 on a system with cciss disks and it died a horrible death. I've managed to track it down to the part where grub-install inspects some files with 'dump' command of the form:

grub-install <<EOF
dump (hd0,2)/boot/grub/stage1 filename
quit
EOF

and it blows up with an error 'selected disk does not exist'. To futher verify the problem I simply went into the grub shell and entered the dump command manually. Same thing. I even tried some other commands that take a device name as an argument and they all give me the same thing.

If I go back to the system from which I pulled the image, these commands work just fine. So it would appear to me there is something about the environment that grub expects to be there that isn't or is broken.

Now for the real clue -- if I go into the grub shell on the source system and type 'dump (' followed by a TAB, it completes the command by filling in 'hd' and shows me there are 2 devices to choose from. If I try the same thing on the machine I'm trying to instal when I hit the TAB all it does is echo the command. Clearly something is wrong!

Any thoughts?
