Hallo all, I'm currently trying to get grub to work with my hd, but there's no go. I've tried grub 0.95-1mdk with a mandrake distro and grub-0.95-2.i386.rpm with a redhat distro. Unfortunatly I always get the error 18: selected cylinder exceeds max supported by BIOS.
I've searched the archives, but I did not find anything, that could help me. I suppose that this error is due to a bug in grub. I have a 160GB hd, the BIOS only sees 8455MB. I'm using the windows NT loader as my primary loader and then grub in one of the partition's boot sectors. My hd layout is like this: /dev/hda1 * 1 1306 10490413+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 1307 19457 145797907+ 5 Erweiterte /dev/hda5 1307 1408 819283+ 82 Linux Swap /dev/hda6 1409 1416 64228+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 1417 3375 15735636 83 Linux /dev/hda8 3376 3383 64228+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 3384 5342 15735636 83 Linux /dev/hda10 5343 17743 99611001 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda11 17744 19457 13767673+ b W95 FAT32 I'm getting the same error, when installing grub to /dev/hda6 and /dev/hda8 (these are my boot partitions one is mdk the other is rh). I'm also capable to boot my mandrake distro form hda7/hda8 using lilo. I'd prefer to use grub, because it's easier to use wehn testing a kernel or updating a kernel. Is there any solution to this problem? Tell me which further information is needed.
