Okay, I've attempted to boot from the RocketRAID 2300 card using a known-good boot hard disk. No such luck. The BIOS on the Highpoint RR 2300 *corrupts* the GRUB image, so GRUB won't boot for me there. I actually have to re-install GRUB after each attempt so that the drive is usable again with the onboard Intel (ahci) ports. So one then wonders exactly what the Highpoint BIOS is overwriting, and how that might affect your particular configuration.. ??? I'll try booting from another (non-Highpoint) 7042 board next. After I repair GRUB again, that is.
... No joy. My other 7042 and 6042 cards do not have bootable BIOSs. So to boot from a 7042 the only theoretical choice is the Highpoint board, and for that we need to somehow coax it into not overwriting GRUB every time the onboard BIOS reinitializes. Tricky to arrange, that.
