[gentoo-user] SATA+GRUB not able to boot

[Muthu]

Hai,

        I am using gentoo 2.6.15 kernel and grub 0.96.
        I am using software RAID1 for 3 devices (2 IDE(hda,hdb)+1 
SATA(sda)).

        I am not able to boot through the SATA hardisk(ie. Just the 
plain cursor comes). When the grub loader loads initially, if I type the 
the command
grub>find /boot/grub/stage1
hd(0,0)
hd(1,0)

and it hangs, it is not detecting the SATA drive and not even coming out 
from the prompt.

        After the machine booted in the normal mode using IDE drive, I 
logged in as root and I tried
grub>find /boot/grub/stage1
hd(0,0)
hd(1,0)
hd(4,0)

         Now the grub is recognizing the SATA drive.

         Can somebody give me a suggestion why the SATA is not 
recognized while booting in the grub?

Thanks & Regards,
Muthu.
