Hi all! Doing some tests with CentOS 5.5 on a KVM virtual machine, after doing the installation, I added a second disk. But when trying to boot from it, I get the following error: --------------------------------------------------------------------- root (hd1,0) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist --------------------------------------------------------------------- The two disks are

doing that grub-install /dev/sda will give me the "corresponding BIOS device" error. But now I fixed it by doing a manual grub install. first boot with cd1 and type linux rescue at the prompt when you're at the linux prompt after detecting and mounting the partitions, do a "chroot /mnt/sysimage" then # grub --batch #grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs,

Dear All, I have a K8S-MX Asus Athlon 64 Motherboard with a 754 pin 3000+ CPU, which I cam trying to install 4.1 Centos 64 bit. The problem seems to arise when installing onto Mirrored disks, I have noticed that from Centos 4 onwards it tries to rebuild the arrays as it installs which slows the whole process right down across all platforms I have tried it on. In addition, the install

I set up IDE software-RAID on a test machine for testing the recover functionality. The problem is that it somehow won't boot after removing the first disk, although grub etc. seems to be setup okay. Here's some background: 2 disks hda and hdb RAID 1 setup: /dev/md0 (hda1 + hdb1) /boot /dev/md1 (hda2 + hdb2) / /dev/md2 (hda3 + hdb3) swap done with disk druid during initial setup from

I'm going to guess that there are no IDE drives that have 4096 byte physical sectors, but it's worth confirming you don't have such a drive because the current partition scheme you've posted would be sub-optimal if it does have 4096

Hi All, I'm currently trying to install centos 5.4 x86-64bit on a raid 1, so if one the 2 disks fails the server will still be available. i installed grub on /dev/sda using the advanced grub configuration option during the install. after the install is done i boot in linux rescue mode , chroot the filesystem and copy grub to both drives using: grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0)

I am trying to upgrade my system from 500GB drives to 1TB. I was able to partition and sync the raid devices, but I cannot get the new drive to boot. This is an old system with only IDE ports. There is an added Highpoint raid card which is used only for the two extra IDE ports. I have upgraded it with a 1TB SATA drive and an IDE-SATA adapter. I did not have any problems with the system

I have Windows 7 on /dev/sda and CentOS 6.4 on /dev/sdb.

I have been trying to multiboot centos 4.1 and the current solaris express build 15. I have two hard drive s, the first one ( hd0 ) devoted to CentOS 4.1 and windows xp (no problems). The second drive (hd1) for Solaris 10 only. I tried to boot solaris from CentOS grub and got the following error messages: Booting Solaris 10 root(hd1,0) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0Xbf kernel

Hi, When I perform a software RAID 1 or RAID 5 installation on a LAN server with several hard disks, I wonder if GRUB already gets installed on each individual MBR, or if I have to do that manually. On CentOS 5.x and 6.x, this had to be done like this: # grub grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> root (hd1,0) grub>

I must have really shot myself in the foot on this one. I reinstalled CentOS 4.4 (have to, for now) on my test machine, exactly the way it was before (same options anyway), but when it comes up, I get: Booting 'CentOS-4 x86_64 (2.6.9-42.ELsmp)' root(hd1,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet Error 15: File not

Hi, This must be a FAQ somewhere, although I am unable to find the answer quickly. We would like to have a bootable USB device offer the possibility to boot from the local disk. Unfortunately what happens when using 'chain.c32 hd1' is that GRUB works, but the GRUB configuration refers to it's disk as 'hd0', so booting an entry fails. One has to manually change 'root

Hi, The CentOS wiki sports a page about setting up software RAID1 on CentOS 5.x. There's a section about making both members of the RAID1 bootable by setting up GRUB on both disks. Now I wonder how this should be done on CentOS 6.x and 7. I have two sandbox machines in my office, one running a minimal CentOS 6.6, the other one with a CentOS 7 installation. Correct me if I'm wrong,

Hello Everyone I have a remote CentOS 6.4 server (with KVM access), when I received the server it was running with LVM on single disk (sda) I managed to remove LVM and install raid 1 in sda and sdb disks the mirroring is working fine, my only issue now is that everytime I reboot the server I got the grub command line and I have manually boot using comand grub> configfile
