Leen,
Yes, it boots from the master on the 3rd IDE channel (the mb has two
regular IDE channels and then it also has this HPT IDE RAID controller
which uses IDE-3 and IDE-4 channels). I did a grub-install with the
--recheck option and it remade the same device.map file. It is
correct, finding all the devices on the system. I have another windows
drive attached to hdc but the boot device in the BIOS is IDE-3 master.
GRUB should be booting from /dev/hde. My concern right now is why is
it trying to access the floppy drive when I see the GRUB hang? It
should be trying to access the hard drive.
Thanks,
Gerry
