This is because of my nForce 4 Hardware RAID 0 (i.e. dmraid). Linux sees 2 disks (sda,sdb) and the partition table of the first is for the 2 disks combined. Both disk have only 80 GB but both combined have 160 GB. > > The error won't be shown on real GRUB anyway. > > Why not? Oh I should have said in my case. The BIOS presents GRUB only one (hd0) for the combined 2 disks. Whereas the ata.mod from Marco sees both (well it fails to detect one but in theory) The BIOS does handle the RAID 0 for booting, but just for that. As soon as the OS takes over it has to handle it. > > Maybe just grub-install and update-grub should be a little changed to > > supress repeating the errors that much, i.e. not on every grub-probe > > run? > > That's difficult to archieve due to current design, but sounds to me as > a minor problem in comparison with what we had before. Yes it isn't that important, as I already said I only want to find a clean solution for the long term. The current way is better then before, but at least I don't like it to have a error message shown more then needed. This doestn't look that good either ;) [...] error: out of disk Installation finished. No error reported. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
