Description of problem: RHEL4 full install onto Adaptec HostRAID (aic7902: aic79xx driver) fails to boot. All HostRAID configuration was disabled prior to install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. obtain box with aic7902 and 2 36GB drives 2. do a full install 3. reboot after install complete Actual results: cursor moves down a couple (3?) lines from the top of the screen, but booting does not happen. Expected results: proper boot Additional info: Install seemed flawless -- until boot. More data about the particulars of the box available upon request.
Note that this was fully functional for RHEL3U4, though there were other issues with the aic7902 controller/driver: the RHEL3U4 driver managed to ignore any RAID settings in the HostRAID BIOS.
After using a rescue CD to find out just what went awry, I discovered that the actual culprit is grub (grub-install, to be precise), and this bug is now actually a duplicate of #149305, and I have marked it as such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 149305 ***
