Bah normally I even say myself to this `fake hardware RAID'. But yes, this is neither a real hardware RAID controller nor like real software RAID like mdraid on Linux. > Anyway, this doesn't answer the question on where is this "out of disk" > error issued, and why. This is just from grub-probe -vv / where / is even on my IDE disk. /home/fz/grub/grub2-1.96+20080816/kern/disk.c:368: Reading `hd1,2'... /home/fz/grub/grub2-1.96+20080816/kern/disk.c:375: Read out of range: sector 0x100f9b45 (out of disk). /home/fz/grub/grub2-1.96+20080816/kern/disk.c:312: Closing `hd1,2'. /home/fz/grub/grub2-1.96+20080816/partmap/pc.c:143: partition 2: flag 0x0, type 0x0, start 0x0, len 0x0 /home/fz/grub/grub2-1.96+20080816/partmap/pc.c:143: partition 3: flag 0x0, type 0x0, start 0x0, len 0x0 /home/fz/grub/grub2-1.96+20080816/kern/disk.c:312: Closing `hd1'. error: out of disk > > Oh I should have said in my case. > > The BIOS presents GRUB only one (hd0) for the combined 2 disks. > > Ah, I see.

Yes not very easy. > Anyway, how is this related to the "out of disk" error? The partiton table is for both disks.

Yes, would be at least better and I don't have yet a different idea.
