Details:

I have a computer with a RAID controller, reported by dmidecode as an Adaptec
AIC-7899 SCSI.

I had no problems booting with Red Hat 9.0 for years.
I decided to upgrade to Fedora Core 3 and after that,
at boot time I only got the grub> prompt and had to enter boot directive by
hand.

I tried to further upgrade to Fedora Core 4 but the problem persists. The
grub.conf looks correct:

#boot=/dev/i2o/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp)
        root (hd0,0)
#       kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp ro root=/dev/i2o/hda3
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp.img

and infact if I enter manually the same root, kernel and initrd information
at the grub> promp, it works.

If I do grub-install /dev/i2o/hda, however, I get this:
  /dev/i2o/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

As it was able to boot with RH9, there should be something wrong... is it a
bug or am I doing some mistake?

Thank you,
Franco De Angelis
