I've completed several lfs installs successfully, but this HP box is giving me fits. grub (0.96 and 0.97) refuses to install to the drive. The Compaq Smart Array 5i in the box has a single drive attached. In the kernel the drive is at /dev/cciss/c0d0, so I added a device.map file in the /boot/grub directory which contains:
(hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0 when I run grub using "--device-map=/boot/grub/device.map", grub seems to see it ok: grub> root(hd0,0) grub> geometry (hd0) Partition num: 0, Filsystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Partition num: 1, Filsystem type unknown, partition type 0x82 Partition num: 2, Filsystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Partition num: 4, Filsystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Partition num: 5, Filsystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 however, when entering the setup command I see: grub>setup (hd0) Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... no Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/menu.lst ".. failed Error 22: No such partition Im baffled. This works on several other servers including other non Compaq SATA and RAID controllers but this one box isn't working. any suggestions? tyler dot packer at landesk dot com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
