I could get again this Compaq servers, and now I used grub-0.90. The problems look so: Grub can see raid disks during booting from stages(1..2)(like hd0). But does not see them under Linux OS(kernel - 2.4.12).(it does not see and hd? disk at all) Little bit more information about raid cards and PC: Compaq ML350 RAM 128 MB Compaq system bios D11(09/25/2001) Proc 1 1.133/133 Mhz SCSI card without disks: Compaq Ultra3 BIOS 3.02 (c) 2000 Adaptec(7899A) Compaq Smart Array 431 Controller (rev,v1.02) (DEC 21554) 1 Logical drive ~17 GB(2 scsi disks ~17gb) (raid 1) ServerWorks CSB5(rev 92) Compaq DL360 RAM 128MB Proc 1,266/133 Mhz Compaq System BIOS - P21(06/13/2001) Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller (v 1.42) (Symbios Logic(former NCR) ) 1 Logical drive ~17 GB(2 scsi disks ~17gb) (raid 1) ServerWorks OSB4 THX,YP - Mr. Yaroslav Popovitch [EMAIL PROTECTED] - tel. +372 6419975 SOT Finnish Software Engineering Ltd. - fax +372 6419975 Kreutzwaldi 7-4, 10124 TALLINN - http://www.sot.com ESTONIA - http://bestlinux.net _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
