Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to determine what the BIOS ordering of disks is on a PC machine. Therefore, with multiple controllers in a situation like this, you need to go to the advanced boot loader configuration to change the drive order to match what the BIOS thinks it is That's exactly what I did. Sorry that it wasn't more clear. Should be fixed with a few changes to grub since FC3 |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I have two SATA disks off an on-MB Promise controller, NOT configured for RAID and SCSI disks off of an Adaptec 29160N controller (IDs 2 and 3). BIOS is configured to boot from the SATAs first, then SCSI. The first SATA disk (call it SATA-A) has Windoze XP NTFS on the 0 partition. Fresh install of Core 3. Disk Druid shows the SCSI disks as sda and sdb and the SATA disks as sdc and sdd. Reorganizing the disk order alows me to make SATA-A as sda for /boot as partition 1 and / as partition 2. XP shows up as "Other" on sdb. Installation goes OK and rescue mode confirms the content of grub.conf. However, on reboot grub cannot find and OS. Removing the SCSI controller and re-installing XP and Fedora in the existing partitions results in a usable system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.1.0.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow above steps 2. 3. Actual Results: As stated Additional info:
