System: PL8500 P42 2-16-01 4096 mb ram (4) 700mhz proc SA 5300 (firmware revA v1.28) in slot 7 attached to storage box with 3 drives configured as 1 logical NC3134 in slot 2 Embedded array controller (firmware 1.46) with 2 drives configured as 1 logical drive Embedded array controller set as boot controller. drive configuration: cciss/c0d0p1 - 512mb swap cciss/c0d0p2 - 16gb /home ida/c0d0p1 - 30mb /boot (set as active) ida/c0d0p2 - 8.6gb / I performed a full install of RH7.2 RC2 with grub selected as the boot loader. I also chose to write the kernel to the /boot partition. System will attempt to boot but will give the error "GRUB hard disk error". System will boot correctly with the boot disk made during the install. When I use LILO as the boot loader I do not have any problem.
Please attach /boot/grub/grub.conf, and /boot/grub/device.map.

What is configured as the boot controller in the BIOS for this system, the cciss or the ida array?
I had used the Smart Start cd to configure the IDA (embedded array controller) as the boot controller.
