Agreed, there is an inconsistancy in the bios mapping and Linux's mapping, in Linux grub-install --recheck shows /dev/sda is hd3, but I can edit the command line from the old IDE drive's grub to boot from hd2 and it boots the scsi drive. So from the BIOS it's hd2. But still, I can't seem to get grub on the sda drive. I've tried numerous things, but it just stalls before it'd show it's loading the grub stages. I'm at least assuming I can't get grub installed, it might be the BIOS isn't loading the MBR from it for some reason. Motherboard is a MSI Ksomething Platinum with AMD64, so it's a pretty new motherboard, I don't think it would have issues booting from scsi. Did I misunderstand you? Any other suggestions?
