Guys, I read quite some articles but did not find a proper answer yet so I hope one of you guys can help me out. I am not sure whether this is a GRUB bug but I decided to post anyway, here comes the story:
First config specs: 2x WD 36,4 Raptor SATA in striped mode on SIL3112A on board controller, mainboard ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe. On this RAID0 array Windows XP is installed and running fine, I do not want to install linux there! My other drive is a "good old PATA" hard drive, an Maxtor 80Gb DiamondMax8, on which I created two PRIMARY Partitions, 1st one is 200Mb formatted as EXT3 and mounted as /boot and 2nd one is EXT3 formatted 20Gb and mounted as / (root). Rest is extended, one formatted as FAT32 and one SWAP partition. The FAT32 is mounted as /win As said WinXP is booting fine but no way I can get FC4 started using GRUB with System Commander 8.13. SC detects the bootable partition though but accessing it displays either the message shown below or just: 1 GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB etc. 2 An error occured accessing the disk Use Abort to issue warm boot Description: general error occured Access type: hard disk read Disk error number: 01H Internal tag: 202 Drive E Head1 Sector34 Cylinder 0 Logical Sector 96 Also during install I did not initialise the RAID partition, so I did not ERASE the array since WinXP was already running there and besides Linux has nothing to look for on that array. However during install I did an advanced config of GRUB bootloader and used the following settings: /dev/hda2 /boot EXT3 /dev/hda3 / EXT3 /dev/hda6 /swap _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
