==Fix Grub on a HP Proliant DL380 G2==

The server is configured using the Hardware RAID in RAID5, 6 drives as 1 logical drive (1 spare).

The solution posted by CharlieBrady on the forums can be found [http://nozell.com/blog/2004/05/08/some-tips-to-reinstall-grub-on-an-hp-proliant-server/ here]:
 +
 +
System information:
 +
HP Proliant DL380 G2
 +
Dual P3 1.266GHz (original system processors)
 +
Memory: 2GB RAM
 +
Hard Drives: 6x 36.4GB
 +
  Compaq Hot-swappable 36.4GB, 10k or 15k RPM (mixed set) (BF03664664)
 +
 +
To re-configure GRUB, I followed these steps
 +
 +
1. Rename /etc/grub.conf  to /etc/grub.old
 +
2. edit /etc/grub.conf     
 +
3. uncommented the line that starts with #boot=
 +
4. edited the boot= line to read
 +
      boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0
 +
This line previously read (if i remember correctly) #boot=/dev/md0
 +
5. opened /boot/grub/device.map
 +
5a. I don't remember if the (hd0) line was correctly set.  It SHOULD read
 +
      (hd0)    /dev/cciss/c0d0
 +
6. Ran GRUB with the following parameters:
 +
      /sbin/grub --batch --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map
 +
        --config-file=/boot/grub/grub.conf --no-floppy
 +
7. Ran the following commands in grub
 +
  grub> root (hd0,0)
 +
  grub> setup (hd0)
 +
  grub> quit
 +
8. Restarted the server
 +
 +
At this point, everything ran properly
