that's what i meant. Check your BIOS and make sure your hitting your IDE
drives BEFORE your SCSI drives. Then boot with the rescue disk, mount
the drive when prompted, then chroot /mnt/sysimage, then run
"grub-install /dev/hda", without the quotes, that will install grub to
the MBR of the first IDE drive. That should do ya

see what's listed in your /boot/grub/devices file

That doesn't explain why grub would hang. My problem is before initrd
and the kernel. I can't even get to grub.

My guess would be that the initrd file was created with a config to
load the wrong module for your RAID. I would try manually loading
modules from a rescue disk, when you find the right one, put it in
your /etc/modprobe.conf file and then recreate your initrd file.

I installed a minimum fc3 on a PII box. It has an ide boot drive (hda)
and two scsi HD (sda, sdb) in a raid config. The boot loader is in the
MBR of hda. The install goes fine but when it comes to booting up it
hangs right before the grub screen. If I take out the scsi card it boots
fine (except it complains about missing raid discs). This is a Gateway
G6 with an Adaptec aha-2940 UW. Any thought?
Thanks, --Louis
