This appears to be a duplicate of #2394, in fact.

We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Please can you check if this bug still applies there, and if it does, reopen it?

Thanks

I get "Error 21" after a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 Server. There is only one disk in the system, and I used the "guided, use entire disk" option.

I have an Abit KT7-RAID (BIOS v6.00PG) with an integrated HPT370 RAID (BIOS v1.11.0402) controller. The disk is on the primary master of the HPT370 controller.

I am also getitng this error on a IPC webnote. I will try downgrading to 0.93.
Currently using grub gfxmenu - so may not be a grub issue.

I also have a onboard Highpoint 370 controller (on an ABIT-VP6) and am getting Error 21 when Grub tries to load the next stage.

With grub loaded from a floppy, it works fine, and I can do setup fine, but loading grub from the hard disk still fails.

It didn't have this problem before I upgraded the BIOS for the motherboard and HPT370.

Downgrading to the grub in debian woody (0.91) doesn't help.

In fact, even moving the drive to the via686 controller instead of the HPT370 controller still seems to have problems as long as the HPT370 is enabled.

Disabling the HPT370 in BIOS makes grub happy again.
What did I want one of those for anyway.

I have a soyo P4 mainboard which has a on board Highpoint 370/372 RAID IDE Controller, even when using the controller in NON RAID mode, Grub 0.93 just craps out with an Error 21 after trying to load stage 2, it's remarkable to mention that i solved the problem by rolling back to Grub 0.92 that seems to handle the hpt controller in the right way, if i boot with a grub floppy into the grub console i can see the hard disk connected to the hpt controller detected as hd0
the disk is used to boot linux, and has 3 partitions (boot,swap,root) formatted with ext3 FS.
