hpt37x controller does not work anymore since GRUB 0.94

[Thorsten Hirsch]

Hi.

I'm having trouble using grub since I upgraded to a version > 0.93.
I always get the "error 21", so grub is unable to find the hard disk.
The problem is related to the hpt37x chip, where my (only) harddisk is
connected to.

There are several other people having the same problem:

It has been working with grub <= 0.93 and grub is also working when I
put my harddisk to the VIA controller chip - but I have to reinstall
grub with "root (hd0,0)" and "setup (hd0)", because just attaching the
disk to the other controler doesn't help.
I've tried grub 0.94 and grub 0.96.

Bye.
