Can't get GRUB to boot Linux!!!
I have installed Linux 7.2 on a IBM xseries 235 server with 5 scsi hard drives and ServerRaid-5i Ultra320 scsi controller.

I started my installation by configuring the raid controller. I created 2 arrays, raid 1 and raid5. I then proceeded to install Linux and load the drivers.

After the installation, I reboot and my system and it just hangs and the screen reads " GRUB _ ".

I can boot my Linux system with a boot disk, so it must be some type of Grub configuration problem.

Any suggestions???

Did you change the partition setup since since you last updated grubs configuration? If grub hangs at boot up with a blank screen reading "grub_" it most often means that you changed the partition setup or deleted the grub.conf file because the grub setup on your MBR cant find it's configuration file on the partition you pointed grub to.

Yes, you are correct. I mistakenly loaded Grub on the root partiton instead of the MBR. Thanks for your help.
