Package: grub Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-17 Followup-For: Bug #302359 I upgraded a woody system with hardware raid: 0000:02:0b.1 RAID bus controller: Mylex Corporation AcceleRAID 352/170/160 support Device (rev 02)
The upgrade itself went fine, but when I tried to reboot into the new kernel, I found that lilo still showed the old boot menu, providing just the old kernels. I installed grub. After this the system became unbootable: apparently grub had messed up the boot record and put something like kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/hdaX ro in the menue.lst Unfortunately, I didn't remember the exact term for my raid; as the system became unbootable, the only solution was to reinstall from scratch. I finally succeded by installing Sarge in expert26-mode and installed grub on floppy disk. Afterwards, taking care of grub's configuration files, I managed to install it on the Raid array. My grub.lst contains the crucial lines: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/rd/c0d0p4 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386 savedefault boot It took me more than 24h to get our server back to work and therefor consider it a serious bug of the new 'stable' version of Debian.
