Grub Problems

My install of RC3 went very smoothly, however, when I rebooted I get a grub command line. I type boot but it says kernel not loaded.

I followed the example from the docs. Using hd0 and such. But I am using scsi. If my boot partition is sda1, that is still hd0 correct?

Have you taken a look at the section of code listing 23.4 where it shows an example for hardware raid? just an idea.

An oft-deglected command for use in GRUB's command-line mode:

find vmlinuz

returns

hd(1,0)/vmlinuz

after installing rc3 I rebooted and it came to the grub command line, I can tell it to goto my configfile by typing "configfile=/boot/grub/grub.conf" and it works properly but it won't automaticly go to it, I have two scsi hard drives only one of them is even partitioned my config file is:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=SOS
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda3

any help would be apreciated

Norulez, do you have support for your scsi card in the kernel? In not, no workie...If so, try this at the grub> prompt:
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/sda3

replace with your config as needed. after pressing return, it will give a bit of kernel related info, then type boot and enter.
