Boot Probs with Raid1
Posted: 2011/11/28 17:41:37
I'm new at the forum and first say hello to everybody.
My Problem is that the system doesn't start up automatically from usb stick, i always have to choose one stick from bios-boot-menue. I just read some howtos for installing grub on md devices but i'm not shure about the steps. i'm a bit confused about the device numbering.
Here is my config
[code]
[root@obi-waan ~]# cat /boot/grub/device.map
# this device map was generated by anaconda
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd4) /dev/sdb
[root@obi-waan ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd4,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/md1
# initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

i found a workaround for the installation
[code]
To install bootloader change as root to grub shell:
/sbin/grub
Therefore grub should show:
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename.]
grub>
Now type the following command in listed order (grub will response what it has done):
device (hd0) /dev/sda
device (hd1) /dev/sdb
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)
quit
[/code]
the main question is which dev is hd0 and hd1 on my system? For me it looks like hd(4) is sdd and hd(5) should be sde and in case to this i have to change hd0 in hd4 and sda to sdd / hd1 in hd5 and sdb in sde???
the problem maybe caused while installing the system with a different mainboard (dg965ry) and now using an dg43nb
Are there any suggestions or solutions?
Thanks for help
