It appears that is no mapping between /dev/cciss/c0d0 and your BIOS.
Try doing an end run using grub's native device naming convention.  If
/dev/cciss/c0d0 is the first hard drive on your system (yes, I know it's
a RAID), then try one of these:

	# grub-install hd0
	# grub-install /dev/sda


If it's the second drive:

	# grub-install hd1
	# grub-install /dev/sdb
