Re: F7-T4 Install Woes (LVM, RAID, grub)

Last night I finally found the time to install F7-T4 on one of my test boxes. It was a vast improvement over the previous test releases in that I actually managed to run the installer in its entirety. It recognized my RAID 1 devices and my LVM setup. All seemed to be well. Then, the install finished and I hit the Reboot button. The result was the Grub prompt. No panic, I'm quite familiar with Grub. So, I proceeded to use the Grub interface to manually boot the new install. I set the root device to what I knew was the /boot partition. A few commands later, I was puzzled. I was getting #12 and #13 grub errors. Odd, but still no panic. I have a backup of a previous boot partition that I can use. Same problem. Hmmm... I decided to run the Grub find command. It returned the following devicies which are actually an ubuntu install that I had preserved: (hd0,8) & (hd1,8). Now I started to panic. I'm quite sure that my two boot partitions (primary & copy) are (hd0,0) & (hd1,2). Oh well, I think that maybe something has changed. So I try to utilize either of these. More #12 & #13 errors. I just booted with Knoppix to assess the damage. The /boot (ext3) and /var (RAID1 ext3) partitions are completely empty, and the / (RAID1 ext3) partition seems to only be partially populated. The remainder of my partitions are LVM, but I'm not going to spend any time assessing the damage as I know it's probably not good. Any known issues that might cause this? Thanks, -- Brian
