I've installed Ubuntu Server V9.10 (64-bit) on a brand new server I built with no previous OS installed. The drives are two Hitachi 1 Tbyte hdd's configured as RAID1, an ASUS M4A78T-E motherboard with an AMD Phenom-II cpu with 8 Gbyte of memory. I updated the bios following building the computer.

The Ubuntu 9.10 server installation appears to go without error. However, on reboot I get the message:

Grub loading
error: no such disk
grub rescue

I suspect the MBR is missing or Linux is not pointing to the correct drive in the grub.cfg.

I'm a noob to Linux. I've made sure the boot order is correct, but other than that I don't really know the commands or syntax to troubleshoot this problem.

The only CD I have is the Ubuntu 9.10 server ISO I downloaded and burned to dvd.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
