Here's what I have for you -- from fdisk:
Disk /dev/hdd: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 26354 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 1 508 256000+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdd2 509 769 131544 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdd3 770 1030 131544 83 Linux
/dev/hdd4 1031 26354 12763296 5 Extended
/dev/hdd5 1031 1551 262552+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdd6 1552 2072 262552+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdd7 2073 3113 524632+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdd8 3114 7275 2097616+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdd9 7276 11437 2097616+ 83 Linux
When I boot with grub -- geometry (hd2) -- I think this was with
lba on:
drive 0x82: C/H/S = 1023/255/63 number of sectors = 16434495
The original BIOS settings for the drive were:
26354 cylinders
16 heads
63 sectors
which I read off the case of the drive when I installed it and
typed in directly.
Now the behavior. I believe it might have been a problem
installing the stage1 and stage2 because I just switched my BIOS
settings back to their original state and it still works.
The only time I get the error message is when I do
root (hd2,^I
The tab completion gives me the error. However root (hd2,0)
works fine I can choose a kernel and boot, etc.
