All,
I've been trying to get a Promise Fasttrack 100 TX2 card to work with Fedora
Core 1. I have 2 80G Seagate drives configured on a mirrored array. I can
install the OS just fine, the card is detected in dmesg (PDC20270 or PDC20268R), and I
verified the files are copied to the harddrive by booting up with partition
magic and seeing the space used on the disk.
The problem is, when I boot the system via the harddrive, I just get dumped
immediately to the grub prompt, no error messages to go on. I can't do a
manual boot, either, because grub can't seem to find any files on either partiton (/
or /boot). i.e attempting a 'kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz-2.4.x.x.x' just returns a "File
not Found" error. All I can find on the file system by using the TAB key to
autocomplete is just the /lost+found folders on each partition. So, it's as if grub
cannot
read the files on the disk to start loading the system.
I can boot up via cdrom, and that works just fine, all of the files are there
on the hardrive. I've attempted to edit the device.map and grub.conf files, using
/dev/sda (in case it's trying to do a scsi disk boot) instead of /dev/hde (which is
what the drive shows up as in dmesg) Nothing I have done seems to be working.
I've been working on this for like 4 days now, with absolutely no luck. I've searched
alot of forums and such as well, but noone seems to have a real fix for it, not
for Fedora, anyways.
Does anyone out there have any ideas what I might try next to get this to
work? Or even have a suggestion as to what alternate card I can buy that would
work with Fedora out-of-the-box?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
tim
