Hi,
I have a particular problem, only verified with RHEL4AS U4, where Anaconda
happily installs and reboots but there does not seem a bootloader
installed (or it is installed at the wrong location).
This happens on a HP Proliant DL580 G2 with the cciss driver. If I install
the bootloader with grub-install myself (using a rescue cd and
mount/chroot) then the grub device.map lists /dev/cciss/c0d0 as hd4 and
sda as hd0.
Not sure if that is the problem, but manually overwriting the device.map
and making /dev/cciss/c0d0 hd0 works as expected.
See this, from grub.info:
3.3 Installing GRUB using grub-install
======================================
*Caution:* This procedure is definitely less safe, because there are
several ways in which your computer can become unbootable. For example,
most operating systems don't tell GRUB how to map BIOS drives to OS
devices correctly--GRUB merely "guesses" the mapping. This will succeed
in most cases, but not always. Therefore, GRUB provides you with a map
file called the "device map", which you must fix if it is wrong. *Note
Device map::, for more details.
Grub has some difficuly detecting which drive you really use to boot
from. I've not tried to do so, but I expect I could reproduct your
problem at will by setting my BIOS to boot from any drive other than the
first.
