Hi, I have got some trouble trying to boot Windows 98 with grub 0.91. My system looks like this (output of "sfdisk -l")
Disk /dev/hda: 1583 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 0+ 1 2- 16033+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 2 9 8 64260 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 10 1582 1573 12635122+ 85 Linux extended /dev/hda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/hda5 10+ 519 510- 4096543+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 520+ 1029 510- 4096543+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 1030+ 1449 420- 3373618+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 1450+ 1582 133- 1068291 83 Linux Disk /dev/sda: 1030 cylinders, 64 heads, 32 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 1048576 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 0+ 649 650- 665584 6 FAT16 /dev/sda2 650 1029 380 389120 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/sda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/sda5 650+ 1029 380- 389104 6 FAT16 end: (c,h,s) expected (1023,63,32) found (5,63,32) hda1 contains boot/grub which will be mounted on /boot when the Linux kernel is booted. sda1 contains Win98. If I switch the Bios to boot via SCSI and also configure the SCSI hostadapter to boot ID 1 LUN 0, Windows starts which its normal problems. When I switcht the Bios to boot from IDE-0, grub starts and I have no probelm to start Linux... BUT... I have an entry in my /boot/grub/menu.lst saying map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot and I tried also map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot . When I choose this entry with "boot IDE-0" set active in the BIOS settings, Windows startlogo (the flying windows-logo) came up, then Windows switches back to a DOS-like screen (which it also do, when booted directly via BIOS) a short, very busy sound from the harddisc came up and then the system is frozen to death. I searched google for a different method to boot a system with configurations like mine but I found only the above settings. What do I wrong? Thanks for any hint in advance.
