I've read the documentation and FAQ but can quite solve
my current problem.
My system is running Linux 2.2.20 and has three disks:
# Linux Grub
1. /dev/sda hd0
2. /dev/sdb hd1
3. /dev/sdc hd2
Disk 3 is a RAID array, controlled by a HP NetRAID 3Si.
The BIOS knows about this disk (#3) and I've set the BIOS
to boot from it.
I've got grub installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep grub
ii grub 0.91-2 GRand Unified Bootloader
ii grub-doc 0.91-2 Documentation for GRand Unified Bootloader
I've copied the images to /boot/grub:
$ ls -l /boot/grub
total 192
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60 May 8 10:26 device.map
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7904 May 8 10:26 e2fs_stage1_5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7440 May 8 10:26 fat_stage1_5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6912 May 8 10:26 ffs_stage1_5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8640 May 8 10:26 jfs_stage1_5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 297 May 8 11:10 menu.lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7104 May 8 10:26 minix_stage1_5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9568 May 8 10:26 reiserfs_stage1_5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 May 8 10:26 stage1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 95712 May 8 10:26 stage2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6560 May 8 10:26 vstafs_stage1_5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9320 May 8 10:26 xfs_stage1_5
The device.map file is perhaps not needed:
$ cat /boot/grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd2) /dev/sdc
Here's the menu.lst file:
$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
#
#
# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0
# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 10
# For booting Linux
title GNU/Linux
root (hd2,0)
kernel (hd2,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdc1
# For installing GRUB into the hard disk
title Install GRUB into the hard disk
root (hd2,0)
setup (hd2)
I've added the grub stage1 boot loader to the MBR of hd2:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd2,0)
grub> root (hd2,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd2)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd2)"... 16 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd2) (hd2)1+16 p (hd2,0)/boot/grub/stage
2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.
grub> quit
When I reboot my system (without a boot floppy), and the BIOS finishes,
I get:
GRUB
on the top left corner of the console and nothing else. No menu.
The system seems hung, apart from the floppy drive which seems
to be on, in the sense that the green LED access light is active.
Any ideas as to what I've done wrong or what need to be done
so I can boot from my RAID array?
