Back
While running RH Ver.3 Workstation twice it has failed to restart but at
this point seems intermittent.
I had a SCSI drive fail so yanked it out before installing Ver3
workstation. It happened to be ID-0.
I installed Ver. 3 workstation then upgraded packages. Upon reboot I
had a failure of GRUB when trying to access step 2 of loading.
Since I hadn 't performed too many tweaks of my own yet I reloaded from
CD 's. The next time I upgraded which included kernel as the last time it
rebooted fine. Last night I tried a reboot and had the same trouble when
GRUB tried to move on to step two.
I don 't have exactly accurate details but will try my best to recreate
a few more details. I am using SCSI RAID 1 for the /boot partition and
RAID 5 for all the rest of partitions. The boot partitions resided on
SCSI ID 1 & 2, not SCSI ID 0. When viewing my grub.conf file I noticed
that it said to load from /dev/hd0,0 Which in fact in raidtab was
/dev/md0 which equated to /dev/sdb & /dev/sdc. It also correctly called
for root in grub.conf as /dev/md1.
I rejumpered one drive back to scsi ID 0 and eliminated the RAID 1 for
/boot partition and re-installed. Later today I 'll complete the install,
upgrade and hope for the best!
