Thanks for the hint, but 'device' is an unknown command in grub 0.97. It
is also not listed under help. Using 'root' returns
(hd0,1): Filesystem is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Submitting 'setup (hd0) claims all is fine and dandy, but a reboot gets
me back to where I started. Also, 'quit' is an unknown command as well.
Good luck.
I guess my luck ran out. Do I really have to cede the field to XP? I am
in no way badmouthing Linux or Fedora, but this isn't any freaky
hardware. SATA FakeRAIDs are out in the field en masse since at least
two years.
OK, being a bit more constructive here....is there any additional
information I could deliver that might get me closer to a fix?
