The system will not boot. It tries to come up it goes immediately to grub-rescue. Trying to rescue the system from the DVD. I have tried.
Did it boot previously, or is it a new install?
1. booting from the DVD 2. mkdir /hdroot 3. mount /dev/md/hdroot /hdroot 4. mount --bind /dev /hdroot/dev 5. mount --bind /sys /hdroot/sys 6. mount --bind /proc /hdroot/proc 7. mount --bind /run /hdroot/run # done it with and without this one 8. chroot /hdroot 9. mount /boot 10. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 11. grub2-install /dev/sda 12. grub2-install --force /dev/sda1 13. grub2-install --force /dev/sda2 14. mkinitrd
grub-rescue >
I then boot from DVD using boot linux system or what ever the title is. I choose the boot and initrd, then choose the root device /dev/md/hdroot The system comes up normally.

Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary. Partition 6 does not start on physical sector boundary.
The rest of partitions do not intervene in booting, I understand. I suggest you download and run this script: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript/raw/master/bootinfoscript You can examine yourself the result, or share it with us. Don't email it, just upload to susepaste.org and post the link. It provides a lot of information on the boot files and analyzes some of it, it is easier to see problems using it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
