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.
starting off with the obvious:
did you run
setup(hd0)
root(hd0,2)
in grub?
best,
andre
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?
Kind regards,
Cedric
