1 Hi,everybody!
2 When i used livecd to install gentoo in my HP machine,the error
3 occured when installing grub:
4
5 _map_device_to_grub_device:
6 Error:could not map /dev/cciss
7
8
9 Use #fdisk -l to get the information of my scsi disk :
10
11 Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0
12
13 /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 NTFS
14 /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 Linux
15 /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 extended
16 ...........................................
17
18 Then I try to setup grub by myself.First of all,I copy the grub
19 directory from my another machine to /boot/,then trid to config
20 grub.But I found that grub can only detect my first
21 partition(/dev/cciss/c0d0p1).For example,I can only root (hd0,0),which
22 is my Windows partition ,but not root (hd0,1) which I want to appoint
23 as my partition of /boot.
24
25 And just now(just several minites before I write this email),I
26 re-enter grub and now grub can not detect any disk! When I type "root
27 ("+ tab,nothing output.
28 And when I typed:
29
30 grub > root (hd0,1) or grub> root (hd0,0)
31
32 the error is :
33 Error 21:selected disk does not exitst
34
35 When I use livecd to boot up,I use the parameter:gentoo noapic.The
36 "noapic" is necessary and without it my machine with livecd.
37
38 I guess the cause is the Logic Volumn(/dev/cciss/*****).
39
40 But how to fix it?
41
42 Thank you in advanced!
