Hi all, I've just bought a shiny new 160GB HD, copied my linux stuff to it, ran grub, and rebooted.
Grub doesn't start of this new HD, normally i should get something like: Grub loading stage2 ........ and then the menu. I get absolutely nothing, not even Grub. After this i installed windows2000 on the drive, and the bootloader of windows works fine. Then i reinstalled grub by using knoppix, but when i reboot i again get nothing, not even Grub. I have made a grub floppy, so i can still boot linux One weird thing is that drive management sees this drive as a 130GB disk, and linux as a 160GB disk. here's the partition layout: Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1275 10241406 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda3 2551 3188 5124735 83 Linux /dev/hda4 3189 19457 130680742+ 83 Linux and menu.lst: # Begin /boot/grub/menu.lst # By default boot the first menu entry. default 0 # Allow 30 seconds before booting the default. timeout 30 # Use prettier colors. #color green/black light-green/black title LFS-6 root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/2.6.10-02 root=/dev/hda4 ro acpi=force vga=0x31a title LFS-6_test root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/2.6.10-05 root=/dev/hda3 ro acpi=force vga=0x31a title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Any ideas?
