Not that this helps much, but I have had the same problem with my KT7 RAID |
| 15 |
board which uses a HPT370 controller. I have |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
hda |
| 18 |
hda1 - NTFS (Windows 2000) |
| 19 |
hda2 - Reiserfs (Gentoo /) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
hde |
| 22 |
hde1 - ext2 (Gentoo /boot) |
| 23 |
hde2 - FAT32 (just data) |
| 24 |
hde3 - extended |
| 25 |
hde5 - swap (Linux swap) |
| 26 |
|

>From memory, when I tried a |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
# root (hd1,0) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
it was fine, but the |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
# setup (hd1) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
gave an unrecognised partition or something like that. At any rate, I |
| 36 |
installed LILO and everything is fine now. I've never been able to figure |
| 37 |
out what advantages GRUB has anyway, so LILO is still my preferred boot |
| 38 |
manager. |
