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 (hd1,0)/grub/grub.conf
OR
grub> configfile (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf
then it will boot fine without any error.
Any idea how can I make it auto boot ?
I tried almost everything I can find in the internet.
Note: each disk (sda & sdb) is 2TB size, could this be the problem?
