hello, I posted what i think to be a bug to the grub mailing list but as I'm not on it, have no idea if anyone has responded.
in the mean time i'm trying to get around the problems by creating a grub bootdisk. I looked through the mailing list archives and found a suggestion by Derrick Pates, but I'm having a bit of trouble. I did (1) "grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/floppy '(fd0)' " (2) copied the menu.lst from my redhat install over to the floppy i reboot and the system does successfully load grub, but then falls to the command line mode. reading the helpfiles on redhat it appears that this is the default behavior when the menu.lst file can not be found or is invalid. I've now gone through and stripped out almost everything from the menu.lst file, but still no progress. it currently reads: default=WINME timeout=20 title WINME rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 again if anyone has info/help it'd be appreciated (also as I'm not on the list and don't know how to get on the list it'd be helpful if you could cc me or just respond to me directly) grub & linux are generic redhat 7.2 install system is a P4 on abit th7-raid hd0 is a 15gb winme hd1 & hd2 are 20gb IBM 60gxp's in raid 1 -Ralph N. _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
