Description Baz 2002-07-11 01:34:27 UTC
I had real problems setting up GRUB on 4 X ide enabled board (KT7A). GRUB sees   
hde as hd0, and hdg as hd1, when no HDDs on ide 0/1. 
I spent ages sorting this out, but resolved it eventually.   
Not sure whether this is a GRUB bug (Dung Beetle?) or the norm!   
Either way it needs to be either sorted out, or the 'Install HOWTO' needs to   
mention it, as multi ide controllers are getting more common, the HOWTO infers 
that GRUB should see hd4/hd6 for hde and hdg.   
The menu.lst file needs to be edited similarly, or it aint gonna boot. 
Happy to edit the HOWTO if req. 
Baz

maybe you should post a little more details to your solution so that people 
searching the bug list can try your way ?

Try with grub 0.92 and see if you have the same problem.  Be sure to unmerge
grub first before emerging grub 0.92.  Also, check to make sure that your ATA
RAID controller is not the first item in your boot block.

also after you emerge grub-0.92, be sure to rerun the grub setup ...

`grub`
root (hd0,0)
setupd (hd0)

... that kind of stuff
please re-open this bug if 0.92 doesnt solve your problems ... thanks :)
