Bug#283214: grub won't install, even not with 2.4X kernel

["Olaf Tolzmann" <Olaf.Tolzmann@itz-rostock.de>]

Hi,

but to me it would seem that grub has problems with the slightly
"strange" mapping those Compaq array-controllers do.
It doesn't install with 2.4x kernel either on older Proliant 1600 with
CPQ Smart-2/P Controller, and as you've mentioned 
the same problem exists on the newer machines (with SA-5400 or 6400).

deb:~# fdisk -l /dev/ida/c0d0

grub-install /dev/ida/c0d0
/dev/ida/c0d0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive

But as was said befor - lilo works.
