You are installing grub to an IDE device. Is that how you normally
address that device? It might be a SATA drive
The device that I am installing grub to is a IDE device. So the
addressing should be ok. It is also mounted as /dev/hdaXY.
What is the contents of your device.map file? I've seen that cause grub
to search endlessly for a device that isn't there
As yesterday, I don't have my notebook at hand. I will check tonight.
What should be the content of device.map? Is it generated by grub?
