I'm trying to set up a Mythbuntu system with a single SATA hdd, but after
installing and rebooting it gets stuck at "GRUB Loading stage1.5."
It works when I install Mythbuntu and GRUB onto a parallel ATA hdd, but as soon
as I enable SATA in the BIOS with the SATA drive connected it hangs at 1.5.
I've installed Mythbunto onto the SATA using just about every possible
combination of install/setup options. I know it's not (100%) a hardware
problem (although I suspect buying a new mobo may solve the problem) because
the system boots fine with LILO. I'm not sure if it's:
a) Mythbuntu making some incorrect assumptions about my configuration and
telling GRUB to do the wrong things ("/boot" or "/" being described incorrectly
to GRUB).
b) The BIOS not supporting SATA correctly - There's an option in the BIOS
"enable onboard SATA", but IRCers and some web pages have suggested there
should be other settings to indicate the boot priority (not to be confused with
boot order).
or
c) GRUB not doing something correctly.
My motherboard is described here:
