The patch I'm referring to is on this page: http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/download.php I believe that since RH now defaults to using I2O_block for raid controllers instead of dpt_i2o from adaptec, then their shipping version of grub would have this patch applied. Perhaps the patch could be reviewed, fixed and applied to GRUB2 and Legacy by folks who know grub (not I). thanks scottb Hollis Blanchard wrote: > On May 13, 2005, at 7:05 PM, Scott Becker wrote: > >> On the two servers I've installed RHEL 4 on, I've had trouble with >> grub.
