I have Googled this problem and tried everything I can think of to fix it,
but no luck. I hope someone can help.
I have a Nvidia based motherboard, two SATA drives running with NVRaid 1.
I upgraded to F10 from F8 and used the scsi_mod.scan=sync kernel option to
get around the RAID problem, then did the mkinitrd update, then updates
including kernel 2.6.27.9-159. All was well, and I have been using and
updating since Jan 12 until today.
With today's update, I finished the updates and rebooted and got the GRUB
prompt. OK, no problem, I booted from the F10 DVD, entered rescue mode,
and ran:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub
grub> find /grub/grub.conf
(hd0,2)
(hd1,2) [note that it is NVRaid1, so found both drives]
grub> root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes
checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes
checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5"exists... yes
running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)... 23 sectors are embedded
succeeded
running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+23 p (hd0,2)/grub/stage2 /grub/grub.conf"... failed
error 22t: no such partition
OK, I also tried (hd1,2), and got the same exact messages except for the substitution of (hd1)
I exited grub shell and tried grub-install /dev/sda
got: /dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
my device.map file is:
(hd0) /dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghc
The device.map file is the same as it has always been, no change.
This is a Linux only machine, no dual boot. Partitions are:
/dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp1 vfat
/dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp2 ext3
/dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp3 ext3 /boot
/dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp4 extended
/dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp5 ext3 /
/dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp6 swap
I also tried booting the rescue with and without the scsi_mod.scan=sync
with no difference in the outcome. I have done this grub reinsall on
many different systems and never had this problem. Although they were not
RAID systems of any kind. I have never had to do a grub install on this
system until today. I don't know if it is related to NVRaid, RAID in
general, or something else.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, other than telling me to use Linux
software RAID. I want to get this configuration running.
Thank you in advance,
Lloyd
