grub-install is running in the /target chroot, and you should indeed have a /target/dev/ida/c0d0p2; that's the standard name for this device. It sounds like grub-install is not adding the drive to the device.map, or is not seeing it at all. This is probably a bug in grub. If you can get the system to boot and reproduce the problem by running grub-install there then it's certianly a bug in grub and not in the installer per se. > Any ideas? > > I also tried booting with a grub floppy, and then manually booting using the > installed kernel from the second partition of the disk.. kernel panics > because it cannot mount root (because the cpqarray driver is not loaded..). I'd suggest you file a bug on initrd-tools about this. It should presumably include such drivers in the initrd. -- see shy jo
