Although my bios recognized my scsi disks, my Fedora install needed me to load drivers manually otherwise the scsi disks were not found. After that, the install completes without further problems. I asked that grub be used and installed on the mbr.
After reboot I get "Operating System not found".
Using linux rescue (again with noprobe so I can load the driver), I tried rewriting to the boot sector and although grub claims success, the results are the same - can't boot. I've tried copying stage 1&2 to a floppy to make it do the boot but I get a grub prompt after stage 2 is loaded.
The driver I needed during install is listed in modprobe.conf (aic7xxx) and I have tried re-creating initrd in various configurations (--preload=aic7xxx, --omit-raid-modules, etc) all with the same result - can't boot
I'm looking for ideas and suggestions . . . .
I would have used --with=aic7xxx in mkinitrd . That has always worked for me. And of course aic7xxx must be loaded by modprobe.conf.
