I'm not sure why my new 8.4.1-server intall will not boot. I think my /boot partition can't be found.
I have four identical hard drives on one controller (LSI MegaRAID 320-2E). I created a /boot partition (unencrypted) on one drive during install. I also created a / partition (encrypted) on that drive. So that drive has 2 paritions. I created one partition on each of the other drives. Then I completed installation and rebooted. (Many times.) No boot. No error message. Only a blank screen and a blinking cursor.
I burned Super Grub Disk. It shows 4 partitions (not the 5 that I created). All are the same size. Where did my /boot partition go? (I have other disks on another controller... but that is actually unplugged at the moment for troubleshooting.)
What to do? Re-install? Well I've been trying that for 3 days, so I need new ideas or suggestions. Thanks.
