Details:
Using 1.97~beta4, with Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64.
I have two drives, configured as a raid 1 with dmraid.
When booting, I get the following:
GRUB Loading.
error: cannot get C/H/S values
grub rescue>
>From there, if i type ls, I get the following:
(md0) (md1) (hd0) (hd0,5) (hd0,1) (hd1) (hd1,5) (hd1,1) (fd0) (fd1)
error: cannot get C/H/S values
There is a 1 second delay between displaying (hd1,1) and displaying (fd0).
There are no floppy drives installed on my system, and the floppy is disabled
in the BIOS. Interestingly enough, if I re-enable the floppy in the BIOS, and
attach a physical floppy drive, the server boots fine.
If I install grub with just a single hard drive, it also works fine. Seems
to only be when dmraid is involved.
Attached is device.map and grub.cfg.
