[gentoo-user] Re: SATA Drive Boot Problems

[Rob Moore]

Interesting. Well, you've given me plenty to look into. Not sure I grasp 
it all, but I have an inkling at least. I had a suspicion that somehow 
the drive was being remapped or something like that after grub started.

Thanks,

Rob

that there's no drive connected to the motherboard's controller, but 
now I'm wondering if it has something to do with the SIIG controller. 
Perhaps I'm jumping the gun here...

I just installed a HighPoint 1520 PCI controller for my Raptor SATA 
drive and use GRUB to boot. I can set the HighPoint bios for the Raptor 
as a master boot drive but my m/b bios wont recognize that.

So i boot GRUB from a PATA drive connected to the m/b (hd0) and point 
GRUB's root to the Raptor/boot (hd1,0) and root=/dev/hda2 ide=reverse

If i remove the PATA drive i can boot GRUB from a floppy and then the 
Raptor/boot is (hd0,0).
