GRUB2 doesn't boot due to 2TB discs?

Hi everyone,

Setup of my server:

5 x 2TB samsung and WD discs.
1 x 1TB for operating system.
Mainboard DG45ID

I installed Debian Squeeze on the 1TB disc, everything goes fine. As soon as I attach the 2TB discs the computer boots and just says GRUB with a cursor. If I detach the 2TB discs everything is fine again?!

Very weird.

See bios order after you connect the new drive. Might have borked grub order.

I think the command in grub is find.

Good chance - also check if they have gpt partition table. If so you will have to ensure part_gpt is loaded in grub.cfg.
