Changed disk controller -> drops into GRUB?!

kebabbert · 10-19-2011, 01:53 PM

I changed disk controller. Unplugged every disk, inserted another controller card, an IBM M1015. The disks are recognized in BIOS, and the controller card's BIOS shows up. But after that, I drop into GRUB and a prompt. That is all.

How shall I solve this problem? I am thinking of booting from Solaris 11 Express USB (have no CD reader) and do an import and export. Other than, I am lost. What should I do? Help?

Ok, it seems to be a well known problem with Gigabyte motherboards and IBM M1015. No solution. Change mobo.

What was the old controller?

NVM, your solution is not out of the ordinary.

The old was the Supermicro SAT2-MVP8 or something like that. 8 disks in PCI-X.
