Hi, I have a supermicro server which was booting fine for almost 3 years under lilo.
/boot is a software RAID 1 partition. Root is also a software RAID 1 partition. Since I wanted to experiment with Xen (under Etch), I decided to use grub to boot. After using the following under grub: grub> find /grub/stage1 (hd0,0) (hd1,0) grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd grub> setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 15 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+15 p(hd0,0) /grub/stage2 /grub/menu.lst"... succeeded Done. And repear the procedure for hd1. I reboot, at this time the screen scrolls but nothing is printed except some intermittent smiley character. And a second after the boot hands with just a smiley printed on the last line of the screen. It never printed anything, I'm not sure it even found stage1... I updated the bios of the motherboard to the latest version available, but it didn't change anything. Installing Lilo again, and the server boots fine. The RAID is built with two (slightly differents) PATA drives (both masters of each IDE bus). The menu.lst has been produced by update-grub and contains the right options. Oh, and I also checked the device.map and it seems good to me (hd0 is mapped to /dev/hda and hd1 mapped to /dev/hdc). Any idea on how I can fix that (or boot a xen dom0 kernel from lilo) ?
