I have redhat 8 installed on a mb that has a HPT370 raid controller.
I don't use the raid mode so the drives just appear as another IDE
drive. I had the unfortunate experience of having a hard disk crash on
this machine and so I replaced it and then partitioned it same as
before, reinstalled

Thanks for the reply. Regarding the LABEL arg - this is the way
that
the RedHat 8 install set things up. But, ok, I'll try it the other
way
and let you know what happens.

Leen,
Tried using /dev/hde1 and no joy - still hangs.

Some more info. I'm noticing that right as the GRUB message appears
that the system is trying to read from the floppy drive even though
there is no floppy in the drive and the hard drive light never lights.
I compared this to another linux system using GRUB and the system boots
without trying to
If you have a win9x floppy handy with fdisk boot it and run 'fdisk /mbr'
This will rewrite your mbr (which i think is screwed up somehow).
Then boot linux using your rescue disk, and reinstall grub using
'grub-install /dev/hde'
When you restored your machine from backup to the new hard drive
Leen,
Yes, it boots from the master on the 3rd IDE channel (the mb has two
regular IDE channels and then it also has this HPT IDE RAID controller
which uses IDE-3 and IDE-4 channels). I did a grub-install with the
--recheck option and it remade the same device.map file. It is
correct, finding
Jason,
Ok, I overwrote the mbr on hde and then booted in rescue mode and ran
grub-install /dev/hde. Checked it with dd to make sure it put it there
and then tried to reboot. No good - same thing, GRUB appears and I see
the floppy trying to be accessed and then it hangs. I'm assuming that
Well, maybe not. I went and checked another RH8 box using GRUB and it
has the same word 'floppy' in its stage1 file also. This is a really
strange problem. Does anyone know enough about grub internals as to
what makes it look at the floppy instead of the hard drive? Is there
any more info that
Ok I finally got something, maybe. I wiped the drive totally clean.
Reinstalled everything again just as before. This time I ran
grub-install on both drive devices. I went into the BIOS and told it
to boot from /dev/hde (the replaced drive) - no joy still but a
different error:
root (hd1,0)
Hey,
I installed Red Hat Linux just yesterday, and for a reason that I don't know of,
the GRUB boot loader will not execute on the startup. Instead, it says
something like, 'GRUB hard disk failure', but I can't remember the exact words,
I've been troubleshooting Linux for a while and haven't
