Folks, I've run into something odd, and a way to repair the damage, but was hoping someone could shed some light on what's actually happening. We've stabilized on RHEL 4.4 for the time being. I have had several reports of folks installing a RAID 1 system with /boot mirrored and complained that Grub hangs or otherwise wont boot the system. I've done this a lot and it always works for me. Until I installed a new Dell 1950. Grub tries to load stage 1.5 and runs off into random data land. I used a Grub CD and root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) if I was lucky, I would get different random data. However, when I used my grub CD and the configfile option to bring up the system proper I can run a grub shell from the system and do this: device (hd0) /dev/sda root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) I reboot the system and it works like a champ. Try to install Grub again using the first method with the grub CD and we are back to random data land. What's happening here? Is this #217176?
