RE: [bugs #6846] Grub 0.93 refuses to boot from Highpoint 370/2 IDEgives out Error 21

[Vizitiu, Ciprian]

Maybe related: IBM e-server with ServeRAID SCSI controller same problem:
one can "see" the disks from a bootable floppy (or from the booted Linux
partition) but a grub 0.93 will not boot, it will just hang the machine
RESET is needed; reverting to 0.92 fixes the problem.
