Hi There, We have a Tyan Tiger i7320 based server with 2 x nocona Xeon CPUs and a 3ware 9500 4LP raid card. Attached to the raid card is a single WD 500GB SATA hd (unit 0 - /dev/sda) and a RAID5 comprised of 3 x 250GB SATA HDs (unit 1 - /dev/sdb, also currently degraded as 1 of the drives is failing).
I am installing lenny from the business card CD with a base system with a single large 490GB / on /dev/sda1 and a 2GB SWAP /dev/sda2. Then doing nothing with /dev/sdb (has a LVM file system on it that i want to remain intact). Once i get to the grub install i enter "(hd0)" and proceed. Once i reboot (making sure that the 3ware RAID card is the first boot device in the bios after the CD).. it gets thru the bios, raid screen, then i get: GRUB Loading stage1.5 GRUB loading, please wait... and it does not move from there nor is there no warning after that. Just no go. Any assistance is VERY VERY much appreciated! a we are trying to migrate off this server and its holding everything up. Thanks Simon
