Hmm. I had a problem when I first set up grub under RH8 in that I boot my ABit mobo from an ATA66 I/F (IDE 3 of 4).[root@cookies root]# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
When I boot from CD (to install/rescue), /dev/hda -> (hd0) and my boot drive hde -> (hd1). But when I set my BIOS to boot from 'EXT' (ATA66, hde), it swapped the order, so that hda->(hd1) and hde->(hd0).
This meant that for install & rescue, grub sees the 'wrong' mappings, and the boot grub fails (as the boot drive is no longer correct). I finally figured this out after various 'find's inside the boot grub, and just changed the grub.conf nos. to the 'swapped' versions.
However, it does mean (I think) that I have to run grub [shell] by hand, and do init/setup manually too.
How *should* I be running grub-install, and can I fiddle this device.map to make it work more straightforwardly?
