Summary:  Problem with HPT370 Raid controller

Original Submission:  HPT 370/372 controllers apparently overwrite a sector 
with internal configuration data of the controller, even without raid setup. 
The sector is around 9-10 after MBR, so it overwrites stage1_5.
Now it's possible with manual configuration to overcome the problem (embedding 
stage1_5 avoiding that sector), but I guess it should be possible for grub to 
check for it and avoid it automatically.

Regards

Max
