GRUB hasn't even entered the picture at this point. Are > you sure your BIOS can boot off this drive? Yes - I had it working with RH7.2 and was able to do that with a default install. Isn't there a step in between - initrd - which loads the drivers needed to access the disk? If the correct drivers aren't available the disks can't be seen. The default install couldn't see the disks either - I had to load the modules manually and then the install was able to complete OK. Assuming that some specific modules are needed to see the disks, how do I fix that? I'm assuming I need a different set of drivers in initrd but how do I get there from here?
