You have to update /boot/grub/device.map (or change the device order on the advanced boot loader options screen in anaconda) and rerun grub-install if you change the order that your BIOS sees the drives in. Otherwise, grub continues to assume the old order and will get the error you saw. Originally, it probably couldn't be booted because hdh was probably not accessible as a BIOS drive. |
Description of problem: I have been trying to get 8.0.93 installed on /dev/hdh1. Installation is fine including creation of partition, formatting and file copying. However, I can't boot from it with either GRUB or lilo, with or without adavanced options. Set up is as follows: /dev/hda has Windoze + Redhat 8.0 off the main IDE controller on the mobo chipset. /dev/hde and /dev/hdg are 2 drives in RAID0 on HPT372 controller on this ABIT KR7A-RAID mobo. /dev/hdh is a slave drive on the HPT372 primary channel and is non-raided. Install on /dev/hdh1 is fine. I have tried lilo and GRUB in root sector of /dev/hdh1 and MBR on /dev/hda but couldn't ever boot it. Tried to force LBA32, no joy. In the end overwrote 8.0 with 8.0.93 on /dev/hda1. When running from that partition, I can mount /dev/hdh1 and all files seem to be there and all is fine. Definitely a boot problem. New /dev/hdh drive is 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up as above 2.Reboot Actual results: Received GRUB HARD DISK ERROR or hangs when trying lilo. When trying to use lilo to overwrite a MBR on /dev/hda, nothing happens and the old MBR is left intact without being replaced. Marked /dev/hdh as bootable in HPT372 BIOS and try to boot directly from ATA133RAID. Get the same results/error messages as trying to boot from /dev/hda. Expected results: Should allow to boot from /dev/hdh1 Additional info:
