want some advice on grub 2 chaining issues
Want to figure out whether to file a bug on this or not, and maybe how many.
Three drives, four installs of Linux at this time.
80G drive hung off the motherboard's controller, 16OG and 320G hung
off the expansion card's controller in the master positions of the
primary and secondary channels:
00:0f.0 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
ata-Maxtor_4R080L0_R2T745PE
00:07.0 Mass storage controller: Integrated Technology Express, Inc.
IT/ITE8212 Dual channel ATA RAID controller (rev 13)
ata-Maxtor_6B160P0_B41H5J7H
ata-WDC_WD3200AAJB-00J3A0_WD-WCAV2Z842365
Debian is in the 1st partition of the 80G drive on the motherboard's
controller, single partition.
Fedora 14 is in the 1st and 3rd partition of the 160G drive on the
primary channel of the expansion card. Also, a liveCD install of F14
on the 4th partition of the 320G drive.
Fedora 15 is on the 1st and 2nd partitions of the 320G drive.
With only one drive connected (at the same points as above), I can
boot each of the OSses.
With all three connected as above, I can only boot Debian and the F14
on the 160G drive. But I can't chain boot anything.
Trying to boot the 320G drive or chain boot the 160G or 320G drive,
there is no response after the selector screen.
Trying to chain boot the 80G drive to itself gives the message,
"invalid signature".
