I have an OCZ revo drive and when I attempt to install grub on it to boot, it fails. Using grub-1.98 the installation completes, but the computer does not boot. I'm running gentoo on an x86-64.
vodka / # grub-install /dev/mapper/sil_acaccacabgccp /sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/sil_acaccacabgccp1. Check your device.map.
