Exclamation Grub "error 2"


after the instalation there was a GRUB prompt so i went into the rescue mode.

i did these steps...

To restore Grub
1) Boot from the first CD
2) Type: linux rescue
3) select: skip media test
4) select: of for language
5) select: ok for keyboard
6) select: continue with rescue
7) select: ok with rescue
8) type: chroot /mnt/sysimage
9) type: grub-install /dev/sda

command line grub-install /dev/sda (cause i have serial ata in raid 0).
After i restarted my computer and i got

"GRUB Loading stage1.5.

GRUB loading, please wait...

Error 2"

someone know why??

I don't have a clue, but make sure your hardware is supported.

If the raid is "motherboard supported" it's probably a shonky software implementation rather than true hardware - despite manufacturers claims.
I'd be pretty surprised if grub worked in such an environment, although I haven't tested it.

My suggestion would be to have a small non-RAID /boot partition.
