How far does it get on the process? I set up an HP DL180 g5 server this week, and had it refuse to boot because I had not designated the boot volume when I set up the RAID. Once I went in and designated the boot volume, everything worked fine. If you are getting GRUB, but it doesn't get all the way through to booted, there are a lot of different places to get messed up along the way. Tell us more, and we can focus on where the your particular issue is. Ted Miller Elkhart, IN, USA > > I know about the MDOS vs GPT labeling issue.
