My local centos mirror (ftp.crc.dk) failed to boot after having upgraded from centos 5.0 to 5.1 (i386).
It just displays
GRUB
The cursor is positioned to the right of a space after GRUB, and no input is accepted.
I've tried booting in rescue mode and run:
chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0
This completes without errors, but still it can't boot.
It's a HP/Compaq Proliant ML370 with a smartarray 5312 controller.
Maybe the the module is not included into the new initrd image (if you have upgraded your kernel too)
boot in rescue mode, check /etc/modprobe.conf if your controller module is in, and run mkinitrd with appropriate parameters, maybe forcing the module inclusion.
Ops forget this, you problem is long before this. You already tried the good operation (grub-install) Sorry.
Did you check if your /boot/grub/grub.conf looks correct ?
The file looks like this:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0 default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.img title CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5PAE) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5PAE.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5PAE) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5PAE.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.img
Looks OK to me.
Do you have multiple "Volume", I mean is your raid split into multiple Volumes ? Or do you have separate ATA or SCSI drives ?
One RAID 5 system with 8x146G SCSI disks. This is partitioned into "/boot", swap, and "/". No LVM.
