Thanks Robert!
*Exactly* what sort of disks are on this internal MegaRAID controller?
SCSI disks for sure. I opened the box.
Do you know *exactly* what make/model of MegaRAID controller it is?
Its start up screen *should* tell you something. If nothing else,
crack open the case and have a look at the drives & controller board.
Sure. I'll find that out and post. I have a strong suspicion this has to do
with the drivers. Somehow my rescue disk doesn't have the drivers needed to
access the MegaRAID.
That seems odd. The CentOS 5.4 kernel (2.6.18-164.15.1.el5) includes
megaraid.ko and megaraid/megaraid_mbox.ko in its SCSI drivers, which
should support this -- I looked at the modules.alias file and
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids -- a large number of controllers seem to be
covered. What kernel / distro rescue disk are you using? Maybe you
need a better rescue disk...
The problem "is" that grub seems to be dying before the kernel is
loaded, and perhaps before anything is loaded. Thus the existence of the
modules cannot be used. (I assume) It is not clear to me exactly when in
the boot process grub dies.
