Hiho,
first a short apology if this is the wrong place or it is mentioned somewhere, but after nearly 6 hours searching without success I hope I find help here. I have a Debian woody running on a reiserfs root partition. All worked fine up to now. Yesterday I tried out Windows 2000 and booting my Linux from a grub-disk worked without problems. Today I remove W2k again and installed W98, but now I cannot boot with the disk anymore. I don't get a single error. If I boot with the disk and then use the command line everything looks fine. root (hd2,0) recognizes the partition as reiserfs and I can use cat to view fiels without problems. I can even still cat the kernel (2.2.19). Not a single error. Issuing 'kernel (hd2,0)/vmlinuz-2.2.19 root=/dev/hdc1' causes simply a reboot. No error message, nothing. Using the boot menu on the disk (it worked after the W2k installation) I can very shortly see the 'root (hd2,0)' command and then I get a reboot as well (next command is kernel as above). Turning debug and fstest on does not show any errors either. I don't think I updated Linux after last reboot, but I used the W2k defrag on hda1 (one and only partition). After that I used the W98 fdisk on /dev/hda as well, but I did not mess around with hdc . And it seems the filesystem is intact or would I be able to cat files on the partition otherwise? Any ideas? Suggestions? Why does it reboot without any errors if something is wrong? (Please put me on the cc till I am sure the subscription to the mailing-list works) Thanks in advance, Sven -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
