Grub version 1.95 Linux From Scratch 6.2 I'm unable to get grub2 installed in the MBR on my HP Proliant DL360 server. The server uses the HP Compaq SmartArray and I'm wondering whether this is the problem - it seems to cause problems with legacy grub as well.
For info, the SmartArray uses device names of the form /dev/cciss/c0d0, /dev/cciss/c0d0p1, /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 etc I have successfully compiled and installed the grub source code, and have tried the following to install to the MBR (with associated error messages). The first partition of the disk (c0d0p1) is mounted as /boot. COMMAND: grub-install '(hd0)' OR: grub-install '(hd0,0)' ERROR: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/cciss/c0d0p1. Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed. Please specify the module with the option '--modules' explicitly COMMAND: grub-install --modules=ext2.mod '(hd0)' ERROR: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/cciss/c0d0p1. grub-setup: error: Cannot guess the root device. Specify the option ``--root-device''. COMMAND: grub-setup --directory=/boot/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --root-device=/dev/cciss/c0d0 '(hd0)' ERROR: grub-setup: error: Invalid root device `/dev/cciss/c0d0' COMMAND: grub-setup --directory=/boot/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --root-device=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 '(hd0,0)' ERROR: grub-setup: error: Invalid root device `/dev/cciss/c0d0p1' Contents of /boot/grub/devices.map: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0 Please let me know if there are any other tests you want me to do, or indeed if I'm doing something stupid.
