FWIW, I've run into this same exact problem, and when I reported it to Sun, their 'solution' was we don't support FC, use RHEL4. On 10/21/06, David Nedrow <dnedrow@xxxxxxx> wrote:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This has me completely flummoxed. I have a Sun Fire x4200 with four drives internal drives on an (LSI) SAS1064 RAID controller. Drives 0&1 have been mirrored, as have 2&3. The installation of FC5 (and FC6 tests) goes without a problem. HOWEVER, after the reboot the system stop booting at the point where grub should start displaying. I've tried a number of variations, eg. grub on boot volume rather than MBR, etc. Interestingly enough, if I don't mirror the drives, FC boots without a problem after the installation. If I then use the RAID controller to mirror the boot drive, I'm back to the "bad" behavior where grub never appears. I hope someone out there may have run into this and solved it.
