Thanks for your response, Arun, Unfortunately the three scsi devices are not identical. The old sda and sdb are two internal raided file systems on two 3ware 8 port PATA controllers, and the new one is an external raid brick fed through a USCSI 160 controller. I cannot make any physical change on the scsi devices.

Keep ur grub and mbr in old configuration. This might work. "Chiu, PCM (Peter)" <P.C.M.Chiu@xxxxxxxx> wrote: I have hit a problem in booting up a RH 9 box after adding a SCSI disk. The boot process pauses after displaying: GRUB Loading stage 1.5 GRUB Loading, please wait... The machine does not show any response, not even Control-Alternate-Delete. I boot off RH9 CD and started off Linux rescue mode. I can see all the existing scsi disks as well as the new one - though somehow, the new one becomes sda, and the old sda becomes sdb, and the old sdb becomes sdc. I tried to reset the MBR with grub-install /dev/sdb but same result. I have also tried replacing all references on hd0,0 to be hd1,0 in grub.conf, and reapply grub-install /dev/sdb, still no joy. Any idea anyone? Thanks.
