My grub.conf can be seen here: http://ideone.com/eYxUUj
And I can give any other information that may help. Just let me know what is needed.
Some basic information that I can think of...
/dev/sda1 (/dev/sdf1 in anaconda/centos) is the efi system partition to be mounted at /boot/efi
/dev/sdb1 (/dev/sdg1 in anaconda/centos) is the boot partition to be mounted at /boot
/dev/md0 is a RAID 1 array and is encrypted. It is to be mouted to / (it is my root).
There is a /dev/md1 (RAID 5) that contains about 8 logical volumes (all encrypted).
What happens is, when the machine boots, I get
[code]
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue...
[/code]
When I press a key I see the grub menu with one entry in it for the CentOS system I just installed
I press on the selection and it goes back to the Error 15 thing (so it goes around in a loop).
My gut feeling is that grub can't find /boot. Could there's a problem in grub.conf and grub can't find the kernel? If it could, I would see a bunch of output from dmesg as the machine continues to boot, wouldn't I? But it doesn't seem to get that far. I also noticed that in grub.conf it says no_raid no_lvm. Could that be right? I would think the latter would be true of root but not the former ("no_raid") as root is on /dev/md0 which is a RAID 1.
I'm a bit out of my depth in understanding this whole thing. Can someone please help me get this problem fixed?
Thanks in advance

Re: [RESOLVED] GRUB Error 15: file not found - first boot on fresh install
Apparently the installation has trouble with /boot on one disk and /boot/efi on another disk - they have to both be on the same disk. (Or maybe it just can't be done that way). After redoing my partitions and a fresh install everything seems to work fine.
